The Best of Us | Get to Know Sober College

This video perfectly captures the spirit of Sober College.

Clients, who range between the ages of 18 and 26, are treated in a unique and fun way. Focusing not just on the sobriety of our clients, although that is of utmost importance, Sober College also recognizes that adjusting to the real world after treatment is just as hard as getting clean and in doing so Sober College equips its clients with an array of skills to help them thrive after treatment. Revolving around their unique Five Core Competency Approach (Sobriety, Productivity, Life Skills, Emotional Growth, and Fitness) Sober College treats the addiction of each client in a special and productive way.

Sober College is a unique program that works not only on helping young adults get sober, but also to have fun. Our program, centered aroundFive Core Competencies,prepares our clients for long term sobriety long after they leave our care. The video above gives you an inside look into our program and all the activities we offer. Check it out and see our students in action.

Sobriety

Sober College’s focus on the ages between 17 and 26 requires a specific form of treatment. Specializing in this demographic, Sober College’s mission is to ensure both a physical and an emotional sobriety so transitioning into the real world is much easier. Teaching clients how to live and enjoy life sober is a major fact of this component. Doing fun activities while being sober allows the client to see how awesome sober living can be.

Volunteering

At Sober College, the emotional well-being of our clients is just as important as their physical. Our CORE program – Community Outreach Program – allows clients to easily reintegrate back into society by giving back to the community around them. The CORE program aligns with all of the Five Core Competencies and permits the clients to also complete any court-mandated community service hours along with those that are required upon admission to Sober College.
