What Is A Recovery High School
Recovery high schools are secondary schools designed specifically for adolescents in recovery from substance use disorders or co-occurring mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, and ADHD. While individual recovery schools may vary in approach based on resources and state regulations, they all share core goals:
Education for All: Recovery high schools provide quality education to students who are committed to their recovery journey.
Academic Achievement: These schools meet all state requirements for awarding a high school diploma, ensuring students graduate prepared for future endeavors. Recovery Support: A cornerstone of recovery high schools is a comprehensive program that empowers students to maintain sobriety and develop healthy coping mechanisms.
Specialized Staff: Recovery high schools have a dedicated team that includes teachers, substance abuse counselors, and mental health professionals, all working collaboratively to support student success.
Family Support: Recovery schools understand the importance of family involvement and often provide resources and support systems to help families navigate the recovery process alongside their teens.
Recovery high schools can be a transformative experience for students in recovery, offering a path towards academic success, personal growth, and a brighter future.
