Q. Are you a religious program?
A. We understand that the Saint Jude Retreat House name could lead people to believe that we are a religious organization offering a religious program, however we are not.
Q. I have tried other programs, how is your program any different?
A. We use a social/educational approach rather than a medical/psychological method thereby putting the control over one’s recovery in their own hands rather than a doctor, psychologist, or group. Our success rate is consistently over 65%.
Q. I have legal/work issues, can you help me with them?
A. We furnish guests with enrollment & completion letters for court, employers, lawyers, and probation upon request.
Q. How do you measure your success rate?
A. Twice a year, a random sampling of 200 graduates are contacted. Results are confirmed by family members and friends. Sober statistics are based on abstinence from all abused substances. Those who may have successfully moderated their drinking or substance use fall into the drunk/using category for the statistical analysis.
Q. What are your credentials?
A. We are regulated by the NYS Dept. of Health & NYS Attorney General Bureau of Charities. We are a not-for-profit 501(c) 3 organization. Our instructors have all undergone NYS teacher certifications.
Q. Where does your research originate?
A. Baldwin Research Institute, our parent company, has been conducting research since the 1980’s and continues to develop and track effective approaches to substance abuse. Visit them at www.baldwinresearch.com.
Q. Is 6 weeks long enough or is there an aftercare program?
A. While 6 weeks seems a short period of time to change one’s entire life, for 85% of those who complete the program, it is long enough to create a new way of life, but for those that feel the need for additional help we offer a Continuing Education Program. More Info Here.
Q. What is the staff to guest ratio?
A. Within each house it is 1 staff member per 2 guests.
Q. Do I need to detox?
A. The Saint Jude Retreats are not medical facilities. Therefore, we do not offer medical detoxification services. However, we can assist you with finding detox services to fit your needs. We have working relationships with two facilities in our area that accommodate our guests in most cases. We can also arrange detox services in your area, as well. Please call toll free at 1-888-422-2626 for information regarding detoxification.
Q. What is the process for enrollment?
A. Call 1-888-424-2626 to make a non-refundable down payment of $1000 for the next available space.
Q. Is there a waiting list or can I come right away?
A. Generally there is a waiting period between 1-5 weeks, but immediate openings do become available on occasion, and people can and do move up in the event of a cancellation or postponement. Call for availability at 1-888-424-2626.
Q. What if someone does not want to stay?
A. Even the most reluctant guests become open to the program once they experience the pleasant, home-like atmosphere and see that they are guests in our home rather than patients in a facility. They are treated with the kindness and respect you would offer a good friend, and are shown that getting well is a pleasure not a punishment. An average of 9 out of 10 people who enter our program complete it. Partial refunds are provided if a guest decides to leave voluntarily.
Q. How do you keep the environment drug-free and safe?
A. We have a policy in place that if anyone drinks or drugs while enrolled, they will be expelled from the program with no refund. Random drug tests are conducted throughout the six-week stay.
Replacement therapy medication such as but not limited to: Methadone, Suboxone or Subutex, Buprenorphine, Naltrexone, Revia, and Vivitrol, are not permitted at the Retreat House.
