Rise Inspire Academy provides a safe, supportive recovery and academic environment that places high school students on a trajectory toward a life of purpose and value.

Family members of students at RIA will also have access to peer groups and counseling. This "community of recovery" model includes the instructional staff as well, who will be equipped with strategies and tools to ensure a total recovery experience for our scholars.

Students commonly relapse when they re-enter the same environment that doesn't support their recovery. As an experienced nonprofit, we also understand why young people struggle with substance-use disorder. Rise Inspire Academy directly addresses these challenges by bringing the common goals of substance use recovery and high school graduation to one place.

To achieve these outcomes, we have implemented our three-legged stool approach: Peer Groups, Engaging Academics, and Recovery Community. At the intersection of the three legs are our scholars who must first commit to taking a seat. This commitment to recovery launches their journey and is then strategically supported by each leg of the stool.

An addiction is a chronic disorder in which an individual is blinded by a substance, or engages in an activity, that gives them an immense amount of pleasure but has become detrimental to their everyday life. Compulsive behaviors and addictions can temporarily provide confidence, control, validation or other emotions lacking in one’s life, but the behavior may not stop until the root of the problem is addressed.

Addiction changes the brain through the limbic system, also known as the “brain reward system.” This part of the brain is responsible for producing feelings of pleasure and will manifest thoughts such as, “I deserve this,” or “Let’s do that again.” The abuse of addictive substances and behaviors triggers this system which can prolong a continuous cycle of destructive behavior.

Common addictions include but are not limited to:

• Drug or alcohol abuse
• Gambling
• Internet
• Shopping
• Food
