  • Recovery Happens in Community

    At VIVO, students recover together, not in isolation. Peer support is integrated into every aspect of school life because the right peers make all the difference in recovery. Here, we replace negative peer pressure with powerful peer support. Students find the community they need to sustain recovery, showing up for each other daily, rain or shine.
