Every year, more than 341,000 young people between the ages of 12 and 17 are enrolled in rehab-that’s 1 in 70. And many of these teenagers return to their former high schools after being released from rehab, which means returning to their old friends and their old habits, often including drug and alcohol abuse. But with the 2006 opening of Northshore Recovery High School in Beverly, Massachusetts, students have the option of a safe, drug-free environment where they can finish their education.
