Recovery Schools

Oregon Recovery Schools are small public high schools serving students in grades 9-12. These schools, under an agreement with the Department of Education, will provide students with a specialized school education experience, tailored to meet the needs of students in recovery from substance use disorder and co-occurring behavioral health challenges. The purpose of a recovery high school is to deliver high-quality education that leads to an Oregon high school diploma, while supporting students in recovery from substance use and co-occurring behavioral health challenges through mental health and SUD support in a safe, supportive environment to maintain abstinence and live a life in recovery.
