Peer to Peer Mentoring & Monitoring
The Haven’s innovative Mentoring and Monitoring Program provides the tools for students, parents and school administrators to distinguish casual partying from serious substance misuse and treat accordingly. This harm-reduction program provides peer recovery mentors, (regular/randomized) drug testing, and community support for students and parents seeking answers and accountability. Mentoring and Monitoring is also an effective step-down program for students transitioning from higher levels of care such as inpatient treatment, IOP or sober living residences. Wherever the student lands on the substance misuse spectrum, Mentoring and Monitoring is designed to help them regain balance and enjoy a full college experience.
MENTORING & MONITORING—PROVIDING ANSWERS & ACCOUNTABILITY
Peer Mentors
Each student is paired with a peer mentor, a student in recovery who has been in their shoes. Student and mentor meet once a week, attend recovery meetings together, and share their personal experiences about sober college life.
Group Support
Students attend weekly Haven Community Meetings, where shared struggles and successes build communication and community.
Drug Testing
Randomized weekly drug tests are administered by Haven staff, promoting honesty and accountability.
Individual Counseling
Weekly private sessions with an experienced recovery counselor help students examine unhealthy behaviors while learning effective coping skills.
Family Communication
Monthly check-in calls from the counselor to the parent(s) provide updates on the student’s progress.
