Hope Academy Inc

Experience tells us that long-term success for adolescents in recovery is grounded in a good education and ongoing support. Research indicates that students, who have substance abuse disorders and are not in recovery will likely drop out of high school, face a life of incarcerations or they will die from the disease (indiana prevention research center, 2004).

Hope academy provides a recovery and wellness curriculum, allowing students the opportunity for personal growth in their recovery from drug and/or alcohol addiction. Each student is required to take a recovery-focused basic skills course. Students learn basic skills, including balancing a check book, how to interview and write a resume and time management, to prepare them for life after high school. Most importantly, students learn how to live their life clean and sober. Hope academy has a recovery coach and peer specialists providing the students support and tools for recovery. Hope academy uses the 90-in-90 workbook, a tool for recovery wellness, as a way for students to journal on their recovery process. Students are required to attend recovery management and 12-step meetings outside of school.
