About Us
The Approach is a co-ed transitional home environment designed to help teens and young adults transition out of the highly structured residential environment of a treatment center and into a more relaxed, less structured home environment. During their time at The Approach, students have the opportunity to:
Gain Important Living Skills
Students build living skills to help them make healthy, responsible decisions after leaving a treatment setting.
Continue Their Academic Pursuits
Students continue their education at local high schools or universities, get involved in the community and get the chance to gain work experience in a local part-time job or internship.
Make a Successful Transition
The goal of our program is to help students continue the progress and positive changes they made while undergoing treatment out in a “real world” setting.
