We're creating a culture of recovery. It's a typical school day. We want them to have the experience that every other high school student will have. However, we recognize they have unique needs and we want to make sure that they have the right support in place.
Imagine a school where faith and recovery go hand in hand, offering a lifeline to students battling addiction. That's exactly what Colby Academy in Bethlehem, PA, aims to achieve. Opened in September 2019, this pioneering institution is the nation's first faith-based recovery high school. In this episode of Battling Opioids's Podcast, you'll hear from Rhonda Miller, who tragically lost her son Ben to opioid addiction, as well as Joseph, a student in recovery, and key figures from Colby Academy.
They discuss the urgent need for such a school and how its unique approach is making a difference. The conversation delves into the specialized needs of students in recovery and the importance of creating a supportive culture. Colby Academy's principal and board member explain how integrating faith with academic rigor helps these young individuals stay on the path to sobriety. The episode also highlights Geisinger's commitment to combating opioid addiction through prevention and treatment programs.
If you're looking for inspiration or practical insights into how faith and education can support recovery, this episode is a must-listen. It’s a heartfelt discussion that underscores the power of community and the role of innovative solutions in tackling the opioid crisis.
