The Daily Schedule
Instructional Focus and Goal
River Oak Center is designed to be an education option utilizing computer-based curriculum, classroom, small group activities, recovery support, and tutoring for course completion. With our partner Duval Virtual Instructional Academy (DVIA) students enjoy access to on-site Certified Teachers and educational support/mentoring through River Oak's program. River Oak students, if they stay through graduation, will be awarded a Duval County Diploma. The mission of the Center is to enable students through online course delivery, individual instruction and tutorship - to become self-motivated, independent learners who can take charge of their educational future. We believe that recovery is based on the whole person so students will participate in a variety of extracurricular and volunteer programs weekly along with their traditional studies.

ALternative Peer group (apg) |
Our after school program incorporates the Alternative Peer Group Model (APG). The APG provides a positive social environment and a new peer group focusing on attitudes and behaviors conducive to growth and change. The alternative peer group provides the following benefits:
After school hangouts
Weekend social activities
A group of youth who can relate to each other and discuss common challenges
Encouragement from peers to make positive choices
A safe and sober environment
Recovery-oriented social activities
Ability to meet new lifelong friends
Parent Program:
Parents have the opportunity to participate alongside their peers in bi-monthly family and parent group meetings where their fellowship is focused on self-care and mutual support. In our parent group meetings, struggling parents gain insight, find answers on day-to-day challenges, learn how to set boundaries, and how best to support their teen in recovery.
Steps to Recovery:
Talking to peers who are going through the same thing.
Hearing how others deal with challenges in their recovery.
Listening to success stories.
Listening to the consequences of addiction.
Achieving goals to feel the success of the recovery.
Celebrating success in overcoming addiction.
Life Skills:
Our life skills curriculum provides teens with a new set of tools to overcome the obstacles they face on a daily basis. Teens have the opportunity to witness and practice these new skills during our group meetings, and social activities.
Spiritual Emphasis:
We encourage each individual to pursue his or her own spiritual development. Principles such as service, faith, honesty and self-examination are integrated into the program.
