Vida Nova Recovery Featured in the News
Vida Nova Recovery Centre was recently featured in national media coverage highlighting the opening of one of Newfoundland and Labrador’s newest addiction treatment centres and the growing need for accessible, evidence-based addiction care across the province.
The story, originally reported by CBC News and syndicated through Yahoo News, explores Vida Nova’s mission to expand access to addiction treatment through medically supported detox, residential care, and long-term recovery support.
In the interview, Co-Founder Ryan Kirby and Medical Director Dr. Anthony Parrell spoke about the importance of timely access to treatment and building a recovery model that supports people from their first step through long-term healing.
Managing Director Melissa Wells also spoke to the growing demand for addiction services and the need for more accessible pathways to care for individuals and families across the province.
As we move closer to opening, we’re grateful to be part of the conversation around addiction recovery in Newfoundland and Labrador and the importance of creating stronger systems of support for those who need them.
