Est. 2002 Project Change Alternative Recovery School
Project Change Alternative Recovery School is designed after several
national models of recovery schools. These schools provide a safe, drug- and
alcohol-free environment where students can receive their education and
strong support for their recovery from drug and alcohol problems and
treatment. Using self-directed learning, students in grades 9-12 work side by
side with community, treatment staff and teachers in advancing their
recovery toward future success. Both education and relapse prevention
programming occur. The overall goal is to begin to provide continuous
education while simultaneously attempting to reverse the high relapse rate in
teen drug recovery.
The school serves at-risk high school age students who have had at least 30
days of sobriety. The students are required to have sponsors, attend

engage in carefully selected community service. The philosophy of the
program is based on the Circle of Courage model and 21st Century Skills.
