The Journey Home is a community-based step-down program focused on the five core principles of adolescent and young adult development:
- Healthy Living
- Education
- Life Skills
- Personal Responsibility
- Social Integration
The Journey Home seeks to instill these 5 principles by providing an environment that:
- Is drug-free, alcohol-free, tobacco-free-including random drug and nicotine testing
- Is administered with a conservative style of parenting
- Allows for attendance at public or private high school, community college or university
- Encourages part-time employment and/or service opportunities
- Provides regular physical fitness and recreational activities
- Teaches self-sufficiency through meal preparation, grocery shopping, budgeting, etc.
- Provides individual, family and group therapies
Located in a close-knit cul-de-sac neighborhood, there is no better place for a teenager or young adult female who has graduated from an RTC or Therapeutic Boarding School to be reintroduced into community-based living.
