For people struggling with drug and alcohol addiction, a new recovery program is now available in Boardman.

New Day Recovery is offering a sixteen bed, five-to-seven day detox program at its new facility on Boardman-Canfield Road.  The Executive Director says detoxification is the important first step in the recovery process.

"With the first day they arrive we begin preparing them for what's next, because this is not a cure all. Five to seven days is not going to have a miraculous recovery they need some more treatment," said Kim DiPillo, Executive Director.

Ohio Medicaid insurance plans are accepted at the center.  DiPillo says New Day is hoping to open another sixteen bed facility locally in 2017.
