Recovery High Schools in Missouri
Focus on sobriety.Find your spark.Finish what you started.
A recovery high school where students committed to sobrietycan continue their education in a strong, peer-supported community.
In recovery high schools, students are 2x more likely to sustain recovery.
Many students want to live substance-free, but face the same pressure, patterns and people daily at school.
Vivo gives students a different kind of school day where sobriety gets support, academics stay on track and peers understand the work.
Here, school can mean moving forward.
Real school. Real recovery. Real belonging.
Recovery is not just about abstaining from substances. It’s about students becoming who they are meant to be.
At Vivo, students:
Work toward graduation
Continue preparing for college, career and life after high school
Practice recovery during the school day
Learn in a substance-free environment
Build accountability with peers who understand the work
Receive practical support for what comes next
Possibility needs a place to grow.
Students see what they can build, contribute, and become through recovery support, peer community and project-based learning that helps them move forward with purpose.
Our approach is built on five core beliefs:
Recovery happens in community
Purpose is prevention
Real learning, real life
Families are part of the story
Equity drives everything
Start where you are.
For Students
There is still so much life ahead. Keep learning without pretending recovery is easy or carrying it by yourself.
