Our Programs

Woodhaven is built around six core elements that work together to support adolescent boys in recovery, growth, education, family healing, and long-term planning. Each part of the program is designed to help residents practice recovery in daily life while beginning to build a future with greater stability, confidence, and purpose.

Recovery Principles

At Woodhaven, recovery is not built simply on avoiding substances. It is built on character, responsibility, honesty, and purpose. Through meetings, group discussions, 1:1 step work, service, and daily accountability, residents begin building a life grounded in connection, integrity, and hope.

Woodhaven Prep

Recovery should not come at the expense of education. Woodhaven Prep provides a dynamic, individualized academic experience that helps students stay engaged, make meaningful progress, explore future opportunities, and reconnect with what is possible.

Clinical Engagement

Woodhaven coordinates clinical care with outside licensed clinicians while providing daily support within the program. This helps clinical work remain connected, consistent, and carried into the real-life situations, relationships, and challenges residents experience each day.

Recreation

Recovery is also built in the moments when young people learn to enjoy life again. Through outdoor adventure, sports, fitness, creative activities, and shared experiences, residents discover that sobriety can include connection, confidence, and fun.

Family Program

When a young person starts the recovery process, the whole family needs support, healing, and a way forward. Woodhaven’s Family Program supports parents and loved ones as they begin to heal, reconnect, communicate directly with their son, and grow into recovery together.

Strategic Planning

Strategic Planning helps residents prepare for the future with individualized support around education, life skills, college applications, career exploration, sober living options, and building a future worth working toward.

  • "Now going on 16 months sober, my son’s transformation continues to amaze me each day. He went from academic ruins to being able to meet requirements to work towards his high school diploma successfully. He has expanded his coping abilities as well as gained self-confidence and necessary life skills through the program. He has grown into a healthy, kind, dedicated member of the sober community. Through their leadership, tenacity and guidance, our lives are changed forever."
