Our Program
Our program models and teaches important life skills, while helping students set and attain their goals. The minimum stay is 12 months, while average enrollment ranges from 15-18 months. The steps are simple:
- Simplify life and eliminate distractions. No cell phones, video games and limited television help students live in the present.
- We talk — a lot. Formal life skills classes, one on one discussion, group discussion and sessions with the school faculty all lead to personal and group accountability.
- Students set goals and determine the path best suited for them. Finishing high school, attending college or vocational studies are all options.
- All students are clean and sober and participate in community support programs if substance abuse has been an issue in their past.
- Students practice accountability through financial tracking, time management, relationships with family and friends, and regular meetings with faculty mentors.
