Mission Statement
To help struggling youth and their families become rooted together in recovery from addiction.
About This Cause
We are a family-centered program that helps teens recover from addiction by providing an alternative set of peers for them to support each other and participate in fun pro-social activities that encourage enthusiastic recovery over using substances. Treating adolescent substance use disorder needs to be different that adult treatment. We do this by recognizing two important needs for lasting changes to occur: the influence their families and peers have are tremendous. Research shows that when families are engaged in support through an APG the success rates drastically increase. Family involvement in recovery is critical, and we require it as much as possible. It is well-known that teens are greatly impacted by their choice of friends. When struggling teens return to their old peer group it makes recovery next to impossible. APGs are designed to replace their unhealthy relationships with new peers who understand what they are going through. We give them the space and tools to develop new relationships where they can begin to enjoy life without substances. Our program provides support for up to 4 years, giving teens and families a solid foundation in recovery tools and building new relationships. Our staff all have lived experience in recovery and thoroughly enjoy coaching youth and families through all the ups and downs of the early recovery process. We are members of the Association of Alternative Peer Groups, a national effort to support the growing APG movement all over the country.
