MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) - Inside the gymnasium at Freedom Park Community Center, the basketball goals are gone.

A brand new floor has been installed. There are new bleachers--the kind that roll away when you're done with them, or roll out for big events like boxing tournaments, set to happen here in the near future.

"When we look at Freedom Park and turn that into a boxing/conditioning facility, we expect people not just from the Freedom area to go to that facility, we expect them from all of the middle Georgia area," says Dale "Doc" Dougherty, director of Macon-Bibb Parks and Recreation. "(People) throughout Bibb County and maybe beyond will come into the Freedom Park location."

Over the next few months, workers will install several boxing rings inside the gym--two for competition, Dougherty says, and two for training.

The room next to it will serve as an exclusive training room, complete with plenty of punching bags hanging by chains from the ceiling.

And what's a good boxer without a little conditioning?

One of the things that made Freedom Park ideal for this center is the sidewalk around Freedom Park Lake. Dougherty says its easy access to the building will allow for pre-workout runs and jogs. The center will also serve as a fitness facility for kids of all ages.

"...where literally parents three days a week can drop their kids off for an hour or an hour and a half and know when they pick them up, they're going to be good and tired but they're also going to be getting in shape," he says.

The new look Freedom Park is just the first step in the parks and recreation department's vision for the future.

"We're also looking at the education side with robotics at one of our centers," Dougherty says. "Creating a full STEM program for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics for one of our centers. We're also looking at cultural arts--turning one of our centers into a theater as well as dance and just general drama classes."

Albion, MI (PRWEB) January 07, 2014

Narconon Freedom Center helped addicts reunite with their families at a cheery Christmas Dinner this holiday season. The center knows first-hand that a major side-effect of drug addiction is the breakdown of the family unit and how important reuniting family is to the recovery process.

This years Christmas Dinner was filled with many happy families. Loved ones were encouraged to bring favorite traditional dishes to share with their family member in recovery.

We never tire of hearing from families that this is first Christmas in years they have been able to spend with their loved one sober and in a safe environment. Its very gratifying to see families have hope for the first time that they will be able to spend many more holidays with their loved one happy and sober, said John Walser, Senior Intake Counselor, Narconon Freedom Center Michigan.

Families expressed thanks that their loved ones who had been struggling with addiction are now on the road to recovery. I am so happy to see my son doing well and see all the positive changes he is making, said the mother of student D.D.

This is the best Christmas Ive spent with my son in years, said the mother of student M.T.

We are very impressed with how Narconon Freedom Center set up the Christmas Dinner. I felt like I was setting down with my family at home having everyone safe and together, said the mother of student N.K.

One of the biggest side effects of drugs is the breakdown of families. The addict withdraws from their families and often does not talk with or see them. Families often refuse to see their loved one struggling with addiction due to their lying and stealing. The holiday season can be an extremely stressful time for addicts and can trigger increased drug use and overdose leading to death. Families of addicts often spend the holidays in fear for their loved ones life wondering where they are and what they are doing.

Getting a loved one into rehab can save their life, said Walser.

For more information on alcohol or drug addiction or to enroll a loved one in drug rehab, call an Intake Counselor today toll-free at 877-362-9682. All calls are no charge and confidential.
