Recovery High Schools Legislative Report
Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education
For adolescents in recovery from a substance use disorder, school is a setting that may result in interactions with peer groups who are actively using alcohol or other drugs. Unfortunately, after treatment, these students may encounter multiple risk factors when returning to the setting where their substance use problems originated. Recovery High School programs play an important role for these students by offering them another option in which they can feel supported in their recovery while still working towards a high school degree. This report "Recovery High School Programs Legislative Report," as required by statute, includes: (1) the number of youths served per high school; (2) outcomes measured for youths; and (3) recommendations for new recovery high schools in the fiscal year 2020 and fiscal year 2021. The data provided in this report was compiled from information submitted by schools to the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (Department).
