The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) says that, “SAMHSA’s long experience with faith-based and community organizations to support resilience and recovery in substance abuse prevention and treatment, and mental health services has demonstrated the effectiveness of local, grass-roots programs in eliciting positive changes in people’s lives, paving the way for individuals to become full partners in American society."

New Creature Deliverance and Recovery Programming is a Christ-Centered Deliverance and Recovery Program. Although, everyone is welcome regardless of their faith or belief system. How we differ from many step recovery programs is that we acknowledge Christ. Matthew 10:32-33 reads, Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
We believe it is imperative to acknowledge Christ in obtaining deliverance (full recovery). And admitting that without God there isn’t a complete deliverance from bondage. This is believing Philippians 4:13 that reads, I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
True deliverance (recovery) embraces not only new found sobriety, but the new person that is born once someone truly accepts Jesus as their Lord and Savior. This entails a new lifestyle--a new way of talking, walking, thinking, and dealing with life’s everyday events.
