New Beginnings, Lawrence, Massachuetts

Welcome to New Beginnings Peer Recovery Support Center.

Located in the heart of downtown Lawrence, New Beginnings provides peer support services for adults in recovery from substance use disorder. Recognizing the value of people with lived experience providing support, all activities and services at the center are led by “peers,” individuals who have experienced addiction and recovery, either directly or as a family member or friend. Individuals can choose to participate in a variety of recovery support groups, recreational activities, social events, and volunteer opportunities. Members also have access to onsite computers and a wealth of resource materials. All services are free of charge.
