As a result, TROSA graduates have professional skills, good work ethic and a sense of responsibility that helps them transition into society and maintain their recovery.

TROSA Works

After completing the 2-year TROSA program, 100% of TROSA graduates are employed upon graduation. In addition, National rates of relapse are between 40%-60% within the first year after completing a drug rehabilitation program. At TROSA less than 10% of graduates relapse within their first year.
We feel strongly that our success is related to our ongoing support of TROSA graduates through the Aftercare program. More than 100 TROSA graduates continue their involvement through Aftercare, receiving subsidized sober housing, access to affordable transportation, and participating in bi-weekly support groups to help ensure that they sustain their recoveries and successfully re-enter mainstream society.
