The Jude Thaddeus Program is a Non 12 Step Based Social-Educational Program...

The Jude Thaddeus Program (JTP) is a social-educational program to teach people exactly how to permanently overcome substance abuse problems. The Jude Thaddeus Program is the only program nationwide that continuously evolves based on research; and the only program that continuously measures long term success of program graduates. For over twenty years our research and facilities have helped thousands of guests find solutions to a myriad of problems, many of whom were erroneously diagnosed and labeled as hopeless cases.

As participants begin the program, they are guided through a course that first helps them to identify their behavior patterns, underlying problems and thought patterns; and then they are taught the process of changing those well entrenched traits with our instructors and directors guiding the way. As they make these changes and see dramatic changes in the way they think and perceive their life and the world around them, they are then motivated to continue on with the process. The Jude Thaddeus Program is so successful because it works on principles that are time proven.

Baldwin Research Institute’s technology and theory behind addiction as a behavioral problem and not a disease is not new and has been researched in detail by many in the mental health field including William R. Miller, Ph.D. and Jeffrey Schaler, Ph.D. just to name a few. The Jude Thaddeus Program is based on the premise that people mired in substance abuse have developed and retained immature coping mechanisms thereby creating a life driven by immediate gratification. Their immature perceptions and behaviors oftentimes leave them feeling victimized as they become a slave to the circumstances they continuously create for themselves. This, of course, does not mean that all our guests are immature in the same areas of life, and the challenge for the guest and instructors is discovering the areas that need to be changed and then emphasizing those traits that have been proven to promote success and happiness in the individual. While many in traditional treatment circles further reinforce the victim mentality by telling them they have an incurable disease that they are powerless to change, the Jude Thaddeus Program shows people exactly how to make dramatic life changes so they never have to revisit the problem again. Life is meant to be fundamentally good and successful. Our process simply allows people to find that path again, and then leave the program with confidence and sobriety.

By teaching our guests the truth about substance abuse, helping them to overcome their bad habits, ineffective coping mechanisms and behavior problems, then build a plan for the future, JTP participants are finally able to take control of their lives and become productive, happy and successful members of society.
