The concept of
Sober College comes from an understanding of young adults struggling to recover from drug and alcohol use, abuse and addiction. The development of the concept is based on three core ideas:
AGE SPECIFIC - Treatment and recovery for young adults is more effective when they are surrounded by others their same age.
ATTRACTION BASED - Given the right environment, young adults will respond positively.
LONG TERM - The longer a young adult can be in a treatment environment, the better the chances for lasting success.
Sober College has been developed based on research, numerous conversations with young adult experts and thought leaders, but most importantly, based on the experience of young adults coming out of treatment settings and struggling to make it in college and the "real world". Newly Sober Young Adults or those needing to be in a sober and controlled environment have specific challenges that are often overlooked by traditional transitional programs, sober living environments and educational settings. The
Sober College response comes in the form of our integrated curriculum, which frames the program for delivering life skills to participants.
