Long Term Drug Treatment Program Alternative - Rehab Information -  

Long term Drug Treatment and Short Term Residential Programs compared to The St. Jude Retreat House™.

Compared to long term residential programs that are 60 day program plus, The Jude Thaddeus Program™ is a six week residential program.  Like other programs, we don’t make a guest go through an assessment before enrolling into our program.  It should not be up to an evaluation to determine who should or should not be happy. Also, there is no age limit to determine who can have lasting happiness like many other long term and short term programs who require their guest be at least 18 years of age.

Many long term and short term programs will not disclose their success rate when asked.  The Jude Thaddeus Program™ has a success rate over 65% over the last 15 years.  AA world Services Inc, reported less than 5% success rate for those who attend AA meetings.  Research has shown that when asked what their success rate is, a long term and short term residential programs state that they are not capable of tracking their success rates. 

Un-like conventional long and short term programs, The Jude Thaddeus Program™ educate our guest on how to be happy, joyful people who hold the key to their own success.  Many long term and short term programs demand guest who leave their program, to follow up with a therapist or go to 12-step meetings on a regular base to remain sober. However, our research has shown that “after care” or attending meetings on regular bases is not needed to be sober and live a happy life.

Like some long term and short term programs that think sitting in a sauna for five hours a day, or getting a deep Swedish massage is going to help guests in their “recovery treatment”, The St. Jude Retreat Houses™ takes a different approach. We use a social/educational approach.  We educate our guest on how to live happy fulfilling life by teaching the Jude Thaddeus Program™.  Research as shown that the 12-step model that majority of the long term and short term programs out there use is not affective. If you or your loved one is looking for lasting happiness the St. Jude Retreat House can help you.
