At Choices, we envision a world where every person has access to the resources they need to live a healthy, happy, and fulfilling life. We strive to create a world where everyone has the opportunity to thrive, regardless of their background or circumstances.
An APG is a developmentally appropriate recovery support service for adolescents experiencing SUD. Positive recovering peers support recovery and model healthy behavior choices by reinforcing recovery and other prosocial behaviors. One of the first lessons peer role models teach new adolescents is how to have fun in recovery. APG youth staff members (i.e., young people in recovery) assist the counselors in shaping recovery norms by engaging with clients as mentors, facilitating peer- led groups, and engaging in and monitoring prorecovery social activities and after school hangouts. As new APG members gain time in the program, they are taught and held responsible for becoming a leader in their community. These adolescents are asked to sit on committees that may plan and organize weekend prorecovery social functions or retreats.
We believe in cultivating the well-being of students who would otherwise be traditionally suspended by offering a therapeutic environment and utilizing early intervention strategies. Many of these students are likely to be struggling with mental health and/or substance use disorders, and they can be best supported through behavioral interventions, individualized academic support, and connections to outside resources.
Our team is made up of dedicated professionals and volunteers who are passionate about making a difference in our communities. We work tirelessly to ensure that our programs and services are meeting the needs of those we serve. In order for our population of adolescents to succeed educationally, we believe the priority of each student needs to be Recovery first. Once the student is fully engaged within their recovery network at Choices, they can then move onto several models for a High School diploma. HISET/GED, TECCA and other Online options. Each student will get tutors and mentors to assist with this process to ensure success at the students pace all while staying 100% focused on health and wellness.
