Hazel Street Recovery Center is a creative, affordable, residential care
option developed specifically for adolescent males.
One of our main goals is to support the individual through the beginning
stages of recovery while also assisting with the development of initial
educational and vocational choices and decisions. The chemically dependent young
person will usually have academic problems and often a poor work ethic. For this
reason, many young recovering people need the support of a structured, long-term
care program.
Key Principles
Abstinence. . .
It is our belief that a recovering individual must abstain from all mood altering chemicals, even those that were not a problem in the past.
New life coping skills. . .
Recovery involves abstinence, "working a program," and learning to live a successful and productive life.
Stabilization. . .
The recovering individual will need assistance in the internalization of focus and structure.
Academic success. . .
In today's world, education is an important base for success. High school and college degrees open a wide range of job opportunity.
Integration of information. . .
It's very important for the young person in recovery to be able to use the information gained in treatment and the 12-Step program. This is a specific skill development.
Responsibility. . .
it is important for the recovering young person to take responsibility for personal action. We present the young person with challenges that allow development of responsibility.
Fellowship. . .
There was a time in the life of each recovering person that he or she did not know anyone who used. Then there was a time that he or she knew no one who did not use. To insure recovery, the individual must make responsible decisions about the people, places, and things in their life.
Resolution. . .
It is our belief that our work in recovery should be kept simple and basic. However, many recovering individuals have issues related to past trauma that often interfere with ongoing recovery efforts. We have specially trained staff who can address these issues while remaining focused on overall recovery.
