Youth Program

Helping youth recover from substance use disorder is the heart of Rise Recovery. We serve them through several programs, including the Youth Program and the Youth Summer Program. 

Rise Recovery’s foundation is built on two
methods: the Peer Model and the Family Model. Positive peers are the most effective guides and mentors for the developing brain of youth. Because of this, 100% of our Program Staff identify as peers – people with shared experience and successful recovery.

Additionally, young people are most successful when the entire family is involved in learning and focused on their healing. Your participation is a part of why this works.

Finally, we believe recovery resources should be barrier-free. For that reason, our services are at no cost to you.

Peer Coaching

Positive peers are the most effective guides and mentors for young people's developing brains. Because of this,100% of our Program Staff identify as peers with shared experience and successful recovery.

Fun-Covery Activities

We go on weekly outings with our participants to places like the Zoo, skating rink, botanical gardens, sunflower fields, and other fun things are happening in the city! We are a fun group and we like to keep recovery uplifting!

Family Support

We offer support groups and peer coaching to promote healing and support in the family’s recovery. We believe that our youth and young adults benefit greatly from having their loved ones, siblings, and guardians receiving support. 

Free Summer Program

From June to August, we have a FREE summer program for ages 12-17! We have nonstop activities like bowling, game nights, painting, movies, swimming, and more! This is for teens who need extra recovery support while away from school.

I don’t want my parents coming. Is it cool if I come without them?



We don’t REQUIRE your parent to be here, but we strongly ENCOURAGE it for several reasons:
  • There is a higher chance of recovery when the family is involved.
  • Your parents will be less afraid if they understand what you are attending. A less afraid parent means a less controlling parent.
  • They can’t support you if they don’t understand.
  • 90% of the time, your meetings are separate from the parents. They aren’t going to hear what you are saying. We will keep and respect your right to confidentiality.

Family - Why do I need to go to Family Group meetings? My child is having drug problems, I’m not.



Any illegal drug use or alcohol abuse by a family member will negatively affect the entire family. The good news is that when the entire family is involved in the recovery process, the chances of recovery are increased tenfold. You are an important part of the recovery process. We also believe that your health and well-being is equally important. We aim to help you we have productive activities and discussions that will help maintain your sanity throughout the recovery process. You will become apart of a “We” group, and the strength and knowledge of the group are beneficial to its members.
