8. Is Integrity House Co-ed? |
| Absolutely
not. We find that the co-ed environment takes the kids longer to
effect changes. Experience has shown that this is a result of
students not focusing on treatment and instead are concentrating
much of their time and energy on attempting to get acceptance from
the opposite sex. Other issues also keep us from having a co-ed
environment, such as, the kid's unwillingness to discuss issues
in-group with members of the opposite sex
present. |

$5,300 and includes all aspects of the program with the exception of
