What To Expect

“I Didn’t Just Get Clean — I Found Purpose.”

“Fresh Start didn’t just help me break free from addiction — it showed me who I am in Christ. For the first time in my life, I’m not running. I’m rooted. This program gave me more than sobriety — it gave me direction, peace, and a family I didn’t know I needed.”

Marcus, Fresh Start Graduate, Class of 2023
