Cypress-Fairbanks ISD Resources

The transition from a traditional high school to a sober school can feel like a leap into the unknown, and you and your teen are likely feeling unsure if it’s the right move. Cypress-Fairbanks ISD, located in the Cypress area of Houston, offers several resources district-wide to assist students struggling with substance use disorder. Be sure to check out each school’s individual resources and talk to your child’s counselor.

Cypress-Fairbanks ISD resources may include:

School districts aren’t always equipped with the professionals and knowledge to help students struggling with substance use issues. Archway Academy is a sober school whose sole mission is to help teens gain their lives back through a combination of traditional high school aspects with substance use counseling, support groups, and mental health professionals. We offer support to students on their journey to sobriety while they continue their education. 

About Archway Academy

Archway opened its doors in 2003 to offer students and worried families in the throes of teenage substance use a viable option and support system for restoring their child’s physical, mental, emotional, and academic health.

We’re located in the heart of Houston, Texas, and are focused on meeting the individual educational needs of teens recovering from substance use disorder with care, compassion, respect, and rigor. Instead of returning students to the same environments in which they’re most at risk for relapse or might have trouble catching up academically, Archway provides a structured place for teens to continue both their recovery and their education without compromising either.

We offer a continuum of care from probation officers to private counselors, residential treatment clinicians to Alternative Peer Groups. Archway keeps in constant contact with every student’s unique personal network — triaging tasks and arming our students (and each other) with shared information to ensure that no important details slip through the cracks; to address behaviors and remove barriers; and to remain consistent and aligned in our approach to getting each student well. Today, we are the largest recovery school in the country, and currently mentoring new recovery schools throughout the nation.
