It soon becomes clear that they are already the next generation. Their parents came to the Rehab Center as drug addicts for therapy and their lives were completely changed. Many of their children experienced security and acceptance for the first time at the Rehab Center. Others were only born after their parents had completed rehab and started new families as an expression of their restored ability to relate

In addition to drug therapy, the Rehab Center offers leisure activities for the young people. The Rehab Center has become a home for them, a safe place where they can find friends and experience encouragement, stimulation and support, and where they can be creative and use their talents in different areas.
There is Igor, for example, whose parents were severely addicted to alcohol and drugs. They met after rehab, got married and started a family. Igor himself says: "I love the Rehab Center because I grew up there and have friends. And that's where I met God for the first time." He plays in the teen band and contributes his musical creativity there.

Another teenage girl is called Nastia. When she was five years old, her mother started taking drugs and was sent to prison. After her release, her mother successfully completed rehab. Nastia, who lived with a foster family during this time, regularly came to the Rehab Center to see her mother. To this day, Nastia spends every free minute at the Rehab Center and is now an active member of the media and dance team. She also enjoys spending her vacations there and helps out at the summer camp, which is attended by many children and young people from various cities in Belarus.

For Albina, the Rehab Center is the place where her friends are and with which she associates life, rescue and recovery. She first came to the center with her mother when she was ten years old, later as part of a children's holiday camp. The times there completely changed her thinking, and for the past five years she has been living a life full of joy and perspective for the future.

Kolya's stepfather was a drug addict. However, he then completed rehab and is now able to live with his family again, which is a great miracle for everyone.
Kolya likes coming to the Rehab Center because he can meet his friends there and use his gifts. One summer, he and a group of young people helped with gardening, cleaning and cooking. This makes the young people feel needed. They are challenged to take on new responsibilities and can enjoy the time together at the same time.
