How does the StepUP Program differ from a treatment program or halfway house?
The StepUP Program is not a treatment program but a recovery based student support program. It does, however, provide structure for the students enrolled. StepUP Program students are required to attend AA, weekly meetings with a licensed counselor to discuss issues relating to recovery. The StepUP Program contract also requires that each student attend classes regularly, be responsible for attending weekly floor meetings, keep the community areas clean, and refrain from vandalism, theft, harassment of others, and, most importantly, using. Unlike treatment, however, there is no curfew and there is little monitoring of the student’s daily activities.
