A-- (Drug of choice: ‘Crack’ cocaine)
“I knew everybody up home between ______and _____(in an area four hundred
miles from his Launch Pad). I know in the Big Book it says it takes more
than a geographical change, but for me it seems to be helping. I had never
tried to move away. I had never worked the program.
I did move away, and I don’t know the whole answer, but I
have 94 days clean. I have never had 94 days clean before. I always started
drinking first, shooting pool. Then it was finding some crack, then an
eight-day binge. I am a husband and father. They had to wonder why I would
disappear for a couple of weeks at a time.
They’re moving down here soon. She wants to be with me now.
As much joy as I have about it, there’s the equivalent of fear.
Right now there’s two clean drug addicts behind that door right
there. I can talk to them. They know how I feel…”

Admissions
Admission to the Launch Pad System can happen very quickly,
and often it should. Addicts/alcoholics are like POW’s. The
quicker they make an attempt to escape the prison of a habit,
the more likely they’ll succeed.
For that reason the New Life Launch Pad System has always had
as its policy to accept a person “…from day one,”
if a desire to stay clean is expressed.
If you are seeking half-way house residence after incarceration,
detox or a treatment center stay, the safest thing to do is come
directly from that facility.
Apply for admission by completing the form located on the contact page of this site. Or Click here to print and mail form to “Launch Pad, P.O.Box
3543, Azalea Station, Wilmington, N.C. 28406” or faxed to
“Admissions” at 910 632-2346.
Approved applications are contingent upon meeting financial requirements
and the truthfulness of interview responses. Applicants should
clearly and truthfully disclose any use, or interruption of use,
of prescribed medication.
Applicants who might otherwise qualify but have conditions or
circumstances that are likely to threaten the common welfare of
other residents may not be accepted. Addicts/alcoholics with additional
needs or challenges are welcomed, but we cannot provide mental,
physical or emotional support in coping with problems other than
addiction/alcoholism.
Convicted sex offenders are prohibited from residence in New
Life Launch Pads by local ordinance.
Applications may be submitted by filling out the form to request admission.
