SOBRIETY HIG
At this US high school, the teenagers are being taught more than just math and geography. They are learning how to survive without drink and drugs. This is Sobriety High.
Case History 1: Lior
Lior, 15, was suspended several times from his school for being high on drugs. If you think that kids who use drugs always come from poor, uneducated families, Lior shows that this isn’ttrue. His mom’s college professor. But the kids he hung out with at school were all taking drugs. “I was doing cocaine, acid and anything else I could get at school,” Lior says. “I didn’t really get to be a kid because I was always getting high.”
How it started
Before Sobriety High opened in 1989, kids who got involved in drugs and alcohol received treatment for their chemical addictions. Butafter their treatment finished, they were sent back to the school and neighborhood where the abuse had originated, and many of them returned to their old habits. Sobriety High was started in order to provide a safe, sober environment for kids to recover in.
Case History 2: Sarah
Sarah grew up with an alcoholic, drug addict mom and when she was only 13 she left home to be around drugs and drugdealers. She ended up being forced to work as a prostitute for one of the drug dealers so that she could pay for her habit. She was 14. Eventually one day she managed to escape and she called her mom, who came and rescued her. Sarah says she feels safe now.
Who goes there
Sobriety High is for kids of 14-18 years old. They come from all sectors of society. There are about 45 students at theschool, four teachers and a special education consultant. Apart from the fact that they are quite normal and enjoy all the same things which ordinary kids like doing.
The students’ promise
They sign a form when they arrive at the school promising not to take any drugs or use alcohol. If they break this promise, they are suspended – they will be made to leave the school for a period of time. Ifthey keep offending, they may never be allowed to return.
Learning to have fun without drugs
Sobriety High is not just about getting over painful experiences. It’s important for the kids to learn to have a good time just like other kids do. At the High School Prom (the yearly dance for classes of high school students) there isn’t any school, and at parties they only drink Coke and eat burgers.But they still laugh and have fun. Perhaps the kids at Sobriety High learn one thing that is the best lesson of all: the value of trust and friendship.
How it works
Sobriety High was built in a secluded location in Minneapolis, mid-west USA. There is a reason for this – the kids are usually running from the people they’ve been drinking or doing drugs with. “Students feel protected here,” JudiHanson, the school principal, says. “At Sobriety High they are safe.” The students often call Judi ‘Mom’ and confide in her. They attend therapy sessions where they talk about their experiences, which can often be very emotional. They also attend regular classes in the usual school subjects and many of them later go to university or college.

TRADUCCION:SENSATEZ ELEVADA
En esta alta escuela de Estados Unidos, los adolescentes están siendo educados más que con matemáticas y geografía. Ellos están aprendiendo como sobrevivir sin bebidas y drogas. Esto es la sensatez elevada.
Historia del caso 1: Lior
Lior, 15, fue suspendido muchas veces de su escuela por estar drogado. Si tú sabes que los chicos que usan drogas siemprevienen de la pobreza, familias sin educación, Lior muestra que esto no es verdad. Su madre es profesora de colegio. Pero los chicos con los que él esta en la escuela son todos drogadictos. ‘Yo estaba consumiendo cocaína, ácidos y cualquier cosa que pueda conseguir en el colegio,’ Lior dijo. ‘Yo realmente no conseguí ser un chico porque estaba siempre drogado.’
