Hello My Friends,
This is my first post on this new Website. “New Alternative for Teens and Families” is a business name that has been associated with me sense 1989. Its the name of my Old Office founded by myself and my youngest daughter Robinn.
As some of my old friends know Robinn and I were also Business Partners.
Togetherness opened the first Office in Phoenix. We began starting Teen and Parent Support Groups in several areas around the Original Office. One in Merivale, then Mesa, and another one in North Phoenix. About ten years after the opening of the Phoenix Office, I started an Outreach Office in Prescott Valley. Robinn stayed in Phoenix and saw to all the work we had started there and I tried to make a go of the Prescott Office.
After one year things were vary slow and I was going to back down and help Robinn out in the Phoenix area. A Probation Officer that I worked closely with said No, we need you in Prescott Valley. So I stayed. As the years rolled by I believe we helped a lot of Teenagers and their Parents get into Recovery and remain Alcohol and Drug free. After Robinn pasted away, I remained open in Prescott Valley. Working closely with the Teen Drug Courts in the Prescott Area. Soon the “New” New Alteratives Office was also providing Treatment for the Adult Drug Court.
At the end of 2017 I relocated to Kingman Arizona to work at the Kingman Prison. That has not worked out well so this Webpage is an effort to continue the Substance Abuse Counseling work that I love dearly.
I will be Posting Information here as to activities and Counseling opportunities.
I hope you come back an check out what New Alteratives for Teens & Families is doing. My goal is to help Folks recover from Alcohol and Drug Addiction. And then stay in Recovery. Wish me luck and if I can be of any help let me know.
Thank You, “Doc” Gibson, LISAC, CCGC
