Recovery high schools are designed to provide both a supportive academic environment and a purposeful daily structure to guide students who are recovering from substance use disorder with the goal of graduating from high school. Chesterfield Recovery Academy is an in-person program designed to allow students throughout the Region entry no matter where they are in their high school journey. This innovative program was funded through the Virginia State Legislature and grant funding. The learning outcomes are accomplished through the use of online coursework and a Student Support and Academic Facilitator who help students with their work and academic goals while the therapeutic outcomes are supported by multiple clinicians hired through the local community services board.
