Recovery Schools
High schools or colleges/universities that have academic programs or departments that are designed specifically for students who are recovering from dependency on alcohol or other drugs. Recovery schools offer an academic program, recovery assistance and post-treatment support but do not provide primary alcohol or drug abuse treatment services. Students must be sober and working on a program of recovery while in attendance, and receive credit towards a high school or college/university diploma. Upon completion of the program, assistance is generally available to make a transition to another high school, a college/university or a career.
