About Us
How long is the program?
Our program lasts a minimum of two years. Some students may need additional time, and we are committed to supporting each individual for as long as necessary—at no extra cost.
Why two years? Is that really necessary?
Many of our students have already tried multiple paths to sobriety—week-long detox programs, traditional 28-day centers, and other short-term options—without lasting success. The John Volken Academy offers a long-term approach because it works. Research and experience show that extended programs have significantly higher success rates than shorter-term solutions. A two-year commitment gives you the time to fully heal, break unhealthy patterns, and develop the life skills and tools needed to build a lasting, successful future.
