Q:
Why are "Recovery Schools" not a part of our school system?
I live in Cape coral, FL. After countless and frustrating hours, days, months & years of trying to get help for my daughters drug addiction problem, she is finally in her 2nd residential drug program. I am hopeful that this will help, as like millions of other parents who have this problem I will not give up on my child. While I was on my computer this morning doing some more research I came across a website that totally blew me away!!! It's about a Recovery School.The web site is recoveryschools.org/index.html. Imagine my surprise to find that such a place exist!! Headquarters: 1231 Highland Avenue, Ft. Washington, PA 19034 P: 215-628-8600. From what I have experienced, the biggest problem for these kids who are finished with a drug / alcohol program is they go back to the same routine, fall in with same friends. It's only a matter of time before they are using again. Unfortunately, that will be my daughters case, once again. She has to go to school. I am applaud to find out that such a place exists but not in our school system. Recovery School may not be the answer to our schools drug / alcohol problem, but it certainly would be a step in the right direction!! Just think of being able to give parents the opportunity to have continued sobriety for their teen returning from residential treatment.
