Description
The purpose of this research project is to identify risk factors for students attending a Sober School in Minnesota prior to their discharge from the school. Reasons for student discharged from a Sober School in Minnesota were documented. The main focus of the research was on the students who were discharged on negative terms. The hypothesis was that the discharged students still had risks factors that existed, which led up to a discharge. Data was gathered regarding student enrollment during each fiscal school year of the school's operation. Information included whether or not the students participated in social service and/or therapeutic programs. Information was recorded on whether or not the students had a healthy support network outside of the sober school and case management team. This information was gained through assessments, treatment plans, progress notes, and interviews with staff at the school and case management teams. A table was produced for each fiscal school year with the statistical data. The research project shed insight as to risk factors which still existed in the student's lives that were discharged on negative terms.
