surrounded by their peers; young adults will respond positively if they're in the right environment; and the longer a young person can remain in a drug rehab program, the better their chances for long term recovery. Sober College was founded on extensive research, many discussions with experts, and most importantly, the experiences of young adults coming out of an addiction treatment center and struggling to make it in the real world. Sober College staff assist students in getting gently back on their feet, fully equipped with the arsenal of skills they will need not only to succeed in sobriety, but to thrive in their life's pursuits.

What makes Sober College a different type of drug rehab center is the fact that it addresses challenges that are often overlooked by traditional programs. Newly sober young people benefit from a comprehensive curriculum that integrates life skills with addiction recovery. The life skills referred to here include skills in literacy and communication, decision-making, the ability to cope with daily challenges and stress, problem-solving, time management, planning, and occupational requirements. Core life skills practiced at Sober College include such tasks as cooking, laundry, cleaning, shopping, budgeting, and computer skills. There is also a special focus on personal finance and basic investment principles.

Whether students simply need to recover, or they are working towards a diploma or a degree, academic courses are available on topics ranging from Veterinary Medicine to Addiction Studies. Some of the Sober College signature courses students can take include History 101: History of Drugs and Alcohol in Music; Sociology 101: A Study of Emotional Intelligence as in Integrative Psychological Process; English 120: Composing Personal History; and Communications 458: Conflict Resolution.
