Q. Are my records truly private and confidential?

A. All substance abuse treatment programs including those listed as “alternative programs” that accept medical insurance, local, state or federal funding and/or fall under state regulatory agencies for addiction treatment providers must keep medical records of each patient, and make them accessible to any government agency, prospective employer and insurance company upon request. The Saint Jude Retreats does not participate in government funding programs, does not work with health insurance companies and as a social-educational program is not subject to the state regulatory agency requirements for drug treatment providers. We have maintained this independent status specifically so we may keep your records private.

Q. Do you have an Interventionist or offer Intervention services?

A. The St. Jude Retreats understand that sometimes approaching your loved one about a drug or alcohol problem can be half the battle. While pop television shows may glamorize traditional, confrontational type interventions, research has shown this methodology to be ineffective and oftentimes having the detrimental effect of pushing your loved one even farther away from the help they need. But there is a solution. The St. Jude Retreats’ Family Liaison, is not a traditional Interventionist, but rather a Jude Thaddeus Program specialist whose mission is to assist you to effectively walk through the process of finding the help your loved one needs. Please call our Family Liaison today at 1-888-424-2626 for a free consultation. Please Click Here for more Information.

Q. Do you have a program for family members or loved ones?

A. Families are provided with our program text upon request, and our Family Liaison Director, is also available to the family for program instruction and consultation. St. Jude Retreats Directors, Instructors and other Family Liaison Consultants are also available to families and loved ones for conferences upon request. Sundays at the Retreats are Family Days and family and loved ones are encouraged to visit. A family brunch is served Sunday mornings and a family dinner is served in the afternoon. Please call our reservations office toll free at 1-888-424-2626 for meal times and for information regarding program services available to the family.

Q. Do you have aftercare or any kind of support after program completion?

A. This is a common question because of the popularity of traditional treatment programs and support groups. These organizations espouse the idea that to stay sober and drug free one must have ongoing external support, but in fact, this is not the case. The truth is those who are most successful at overcoming substance abuse do so and move on with their lives without requiring ongoing support. Instead they build networks of family, friends and co-workers who are positive and supportive; much the same as all successful people. While attending the Jude Thaddeus Program and if requested, the Jude Thaddeus Continuing Education Program, our guests build friendships with various staff members and oftentimes will keep continued contact via private email or phone.  The availability of this ongoing contact can be especially helpful to guests and their families during those first few weeks or months after returning home. Based on our true choice based philosophy, continued correspondence between the graduate and our staff is only established after such a request for continued contact is initiated by the guest.

Q. Can you help me with work or legal issues?

A. We have worked with law enforcement agencies and employers throughout the country. Upon your request we can provide enrollment letters, completion letters, drug screening results and any other information requested by law enforcement or an employer to help you to fulfill your obligations.

Q. What is your success rate and how do you measure it?

A. Each year the St. Jude Retreats invites an independent research organization to conduct a follow-up survey of our graduate population. A call is made to a random sampling of program graduates to inquire as to their sobriety status. Then a second phone call is made to a corroborating witness for each graduate, usually the person who provided the financial help for the guest to attend our program. Currently our success rate is 62%. Sober statistics are based on abstinence from all substances. While there are graduates who have successfully moderated their substance use and dramatically improved their lives, they still fall into the actively using category for the purposes of statistical analysis. In short, we do not bias results or fabricate data for marketing purposes as so many other programs do. SUCCESS RATE PAGE CLICK HERE

Q. What is your refund policy?

A. Unlike the vast majority of programs, the St. Jude Retreats gives you the opportunity to decide if our program is right for you. That is why we offer the following refund policy:

Please be advised that guests who are paid in full at the time of arrival and leave voluntarily are eligible for a pro-rated refund of the full tuition paid after the non-refundable registration fee. For guests who leave voluntarily within the first week, the payer may receive a 75% refund; for those who leave voluntarily during the second week, the payer may receive a 50% refund and for those who leave during the third week the payer may receive a 25% refund. All refund requests must be submitted to the Finance Director in writing by the payer(s) within 14 days of the guest's voluntary departure via certified mail. Guests who are asked to leave the program by the Program Director are not eligible for a refund.

Q. What are your credentials and are you licensed?

A. The St. Jude Retreats are regulated by the NYS Dept. of Health and NYS Attorney General Bureau of Charities. We are a not-for-profit 501(c) 3 organization. Our Directors and Instructors come from a variety of professional backgrounds including education, administration and mental health to name a few. All instructors are either New York State Certified Teachers or Teacher’s Assistants and in addition have been provided extensive training by Baldwin Research Institute, Inc. to teach the Jude Thaddeus Program and the Jude Thaddeus Continuing Education Program. Please click here to meet our staff. The St. Jude Retreats is not a medical facility and the Jude Thaddeus Program is a social/educational program not a medical treatment program. As such the St. Jude Retreats do not provide services that require licensure by the New York State Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services. All medical appointments are administered by licensed professionals off site, and transportation to and from these appointments is provided.

Q. Is the Jude Thaddeus Program 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. The Jude Thaddeus Program is not a religious program, nor do we teach people they must “find God” or spirituality to achieve sobriety as those programs have been shown to have much lower rates of success. 

Back to Top

Q. Why are you called the St. Jude Retreats?

A. The founders of the Saint Jude Retreats are Catholic and have chosen to honor St. Jude Thaddeus by giving the program and retreats his name. The Saint Jude Retreats and Jude Thaddeus Program were built from the ground up through the hard work, generosity and kindness of those who believed in our mission; to build the most successful program to help people to overcome substance abuse. There were many volunteers who helped to rebuild our houses and financial supporters who kept our doors open through those first several building years.  Oftentimes the founders went to St. Jude, the patron of hopeless causes, to ask for his help as they built the program and today they credit St. Jude for helping them to make the Jude Thaddeus Program the most effective substance abuse program nationwide.

Q. Where does your research and program 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
