Colorado’s only recovery high school — one of 43 nationwide — is designed for students who are recovering from substance use disorder and might also be dealing with related mental health disorders.
“For this particular group of young people who have these disorders, this can be a lifesaver,” said John Kelly, director of the Recovery Research Institute at Massachusetts General Hospital. “It can help them create a social norm of recovery.”
“Recovery schools offer an opportunity really for peer support and mutual aid in a kind of a supervised and structured way,” Levy said. Recovery schools do face challenges. Most are publicly funded charter or alternative schools that carry a higher cost of educating students than traditional schools do. This is due to a smaller enrollment, the need for mental health and recovery personnel, higher faculty-to-student ratios, and other factors.

Pooling such students together may also raise a concern that students will trigger one another to use drugs and alcohol and relapse, but, Levy said, that’s a risk with any social interaction.
