The New Beginning Fellowship Center is dedicated to giving back to the community.
Each year The New Beginning Fellowship Center "Still Hope" Program looks forward to being able to scholarship ten individuals, who are unable to afford treatment.
The "Still Hope" Program was established just for that reason. The "Still Hope" program came in to effect in 2010.
According to a new study by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA, the proportion of all substance abuse treatment admissions of those aged 12 and older involving abuse of prescription pain relievers rose by over 400 percent from 2.2 percent in 1998 to 9.8 percent in 2008).
This dramatic rise in the proportion of admissions associated with the abuse of these drugs occurred among nearly all segments of the population regardless of age, gender, educational level and employment status.
The recession continues, but substance abuse, prescription pills, and alcohol abuse also continue to affect our communities, as well as our children, whether it's online, in the newspaper or on television. Actually, due to the recession, more individuals are falling prey to substance abuse to ease the pain.
The only way to stop substance abuse is through education!
