are based on the disease theory of addiction and will ensure your child a lifetime of struggle with an “imaginary,” incurable disease.
may claim not to adhere to the disease theory, and instead refer to addiction as a dependency. This is actually a marketing ploy that allows these treatment programs to play both sides of the fence as dependency is not disease but still renders the substance abuser powerless over a particular behavior. This, once again, will likely lead to a lifetime of unnecessary struggle for your son or daughter.
; and even worse, both have been shown to negatively affect long term success in those struggling with substance abuse.
In sharp contrast:
that provides your son or daughter with the hope, motivation and freedom that a purely choice-based program can. There is no imaginary disease and no “choice-based dependence” that controls behavior. There is no fear of relapse; no set-up for failure; just common sense solutions supported by research.
The Jude Thaddeus Program is the only program that continuously evolves based on research data and the only program that invites independent research organizations to measure long term results.
The Jude Thaddeus Program dispels the myths surrounding alcoholism, addiction and substance abuse and educates each guest and their family regarding the truth: substance abuse is a behavior, and like all behaviors, it is a choice.
The professional and caring staff at the St. Jude Retreats focus on educating, motivating and providing guidance to each student as he or she works their way through the life changing process that is the Jude Thaddeus Program.
For many young people substance abuse has become a diversion from the oftentimes difficult process of growing up. Fear of success, fear of failure, and fear of adult responsibility are just a few of the obstacles that can be identified and addressed to assist the student with gaining long term happiness and success in life.

Please, don’t give up hope!
If you have invested in other treatment programs that have failed, please take heart; your son or daughter didn’t fail, they were simply provided the wrong information. Everything from the movies they see and television shows they watch to what they are learning in school has led them to believe that once they try drugs and/or alcohol, addiction is inevitable. This is simply not true!
If they have been to drug treatment, group therapy or 12 step meetings they are taught that they are powerless over their behavior when it comes to substance use. They fear that if they ask for and receive help for their problem, they are destined to a lifetime of cravings, relapse, therapy and meetings. This does not have to be the case!
For those of you who have teenagers or young adults, various independent studies show that conventional treatment methods yield a 0 to 3% success rate after one year for that age group. The St. Jude Retreats provide a program that has far greater success with adolescents than any other program or approach used in conventional rehabilitation programs.
Understanding that adolescents pose particular difficulties such as problems with image, impulse control, rebelliousness and most dominant of all, insecurity, the Saint Jude Retreats™ and Baldwin Research Institute™, Inc., have developed a program that yields a success rate 20 times that of conventional treatment. In a 1994 project, the Saint Jude Retreats™ conducted a program exclusively for adolescents called the Jude Thaddeus Academy. This program yielded a success rate of 65%. That means that 65% went on to live happy and productive lives after leaving the Saint Jude Retreat™.
Your son or daughter is not doomed to a lifetime of meetings, treatment, or therapy due to his or her current drug or alcohol problem. (Read the Testimonial of the Vice Chairman who successfully overcame a substance abuse problem at 22 years old.)
