Details: Youth Recovery House is a 15-bed residential treatment program. It is a highly structured gender-responsive environment promoting abstinence as the only true path to recovery. The program also recognizes that co-occuring mental health problems often accompany substance use and abuse. We measure client success both at discharge and in follow-ups done six months after completing the program. Over the past several years, nearly 70% of our clients made significant progress during treatment and were discharged as either successful or partially-successful. We find that most clients make significant progress in many areas including staying substance-free, improving mental health, employment, schoolwork achievement, avoiding hospitalizations and illegal activity, and improving family relationships.
