2. The Jude Thaddeus Program

A. We are the only facilities to offer the Jude Thaddeus Program™ (JTP™). The Jude Thaddeus Program™ is the only choice based, non 12-step program of its kind in the world. The JTP™ has been exclusively developed over the last 20 years, and only the Saint Jude Retreat Houses™ offer this proprietary social, educational, non-medical alternative to traditional drug treatment and other non 12-step based programs.

3. Highest Independently Verified Success Rate Nationwide

A. The JTP™ is the only program in the country that has independent outside research firms conducting our success rate surveys. (Click here for more information about Success Rates.) All other programs either conduct their own surveys, and/or do so in a manner that is misleading and often dishonest. These misleading surveys produce false hope and can lead to tragic results for you or your loved one. Our success rate is a documented, independently verified rate of 65% abstinence over a 14 year period of continuing semiannual surveys (28 surveys in total.)

4. Truly Confidential

A. Many facilities claim that their guests have 100% confidentiality and privacy. However, this is not true. Any 12-step based, therapeutic based, psychiatrically based, or medically based program must, by law, keep records of your stay at their facility. This is because these facilities run on government funding and/or third party reimbursements. Even when a patient chooses to pay out of pocket at one of these facilities, a record is kept in the same databases as those who are paid by third party reimbursements or a government social services grant. In other words, no conventional rehabilitation program is truly confidential and/or subpoena proof.

5. Cost Effective

A. The Saint Jude Executive Retreat™ offers the most cost effective substance abuse solution. Because we are a non-profit, social education program, we do not have the overhead costs required by other programs, and this savings is passed on to you. The Saint Jude Executive Retreat is 1/2 the cost of other facilities with comparable amenities and personal services.

6. Most Experienced Non 12 Step Program in the Nation

A. While other programs may state that they are non 12-step based, any facility or program that is disease based, or body addictive based, or uses “relapse prevention” and support meetings for after care is a believer in the 12-step paradigm, or a derivation of that method. Don’t be fooled by facilities that claim to be non 12-step based, and use the methods described above. The St. Jude Retreats™ are truly unique, in that we developed the JTP™ based on research. Our founders are researchers, not follow-the-crowd business people. The program was not brought to the international public until a full ten years of actual study and research was put into the method. The result today is the 11th edition of the JTP™ text, and a track record of success and experience that is the most effective in the treatment industry.

7. Warm, Inviting, and Non Punitive Approach.

A. The St. Jude Retreats™, as you can see from the pictures, are relatively small facilities that cater to the individual. There is not a hospital like setting; there is no lock down policy. We do not treat our guests as patients or criminals because we know from research that you (or your loved one) are not addictively sick, but rather, that you have made poor choices, and are struggling. Each class is set up with one on one instruction and individual attention is easily granted with a total guest capacity of only five. This personalized attention is unheard of in other facilities where the average of patient to counselor ratio is 18 to 1.
