We connect young adults with their
personal hopes and dreams for the future
AIM House is an individualized, young adult transitional program. Our program is designed for the individual who is transitioning from residential treatment centers, primary treatment, wilderness programs, and therapeutic boarding schools. We provide a structured living environment and a supportive, personalized program.
Our program includes:
Group, Individual, and Family Therapy
Group, Individual, and Family Therapy
Without intentions, it's very difficult to set goals. Therefore, we believe it's imperative to clearly realize and state our intentions. An intention may be as simple as time management; however, it is the foundation which paves the way for other goals to materialize.
Integrative Psychiatry, Relapse Prevention and Support

Setting and accomplishing personal goals is not easy when one has a history of sabotaging themselves with destructive behaviors. We come face-to-face with what's getting in the way of actualizing personal success.
Executive Functioning and Life Skills Coaching
Executive Functioning and Life Skills Coaching
We create an environment where participants experience success in maintaining their individual schedules while making progress toward therapeutic goals. Participants co-create and follow through with a 30-40 hr. per week schedule of well-defined commitments.
Academic Mentoring and Access to Academic Institutions
Academic Mentoring and Access to Academic Institutions
Participants overcome academic hurdles that developed when they were living a life lacking in congruence between intentions and actions. Academic goals are self-driven, and participants maintain their own schedules as they establish themselves as leaders in the AIM House community.
Vocational Coaching and Creative Internships
Vocational Coaching and Creative Internships
Participants spend time building a stronger support network outside of AIM House as they gradually move into greater degrees of independence and responsibility. Participants see the fruition of their hard work while under the support of an AIM House mentors, their therapist, and the participant community.

Testimonials
"There were times at AIM House where I wanted to leave and go my own way, convinced that I could make it on my own. There were times when I thought I had learned all I could here and that any more of the groups and the rules and the requirements were just a waste of money or time. However, each time I had those thoughts something would remind me of just how important AIM House was to me. It was never my idea of a perfect home, it was rarely comfortable, but it was always the best place for me at this time in my life. Now that the end of my AIM House career is actually drawing near, I can look back and be thankful for the stroke of reason that had kept me here. There is no doubt in my mind that I see the world much differently than I did when I stepped into the castle for the first time."
"How can we say “thank you” for all the things you've done. How can we say “thank you” for your comfort, your compassion, your concern. How can we say “thank you” for your honesty, your support, your knowledge. How can we say “thank you” for being there with our son when we couldn’t. How can we say “thank you” for saving our son’s life. A simple “thank you” doesn't seem enough and a thousand “thank you’s” don’t measure the extent of our appreciation. So please take comfort and pride in knowing that you touched a young man’s life, his parent’s hearts, and that the only words we can think of at this time to express our gratitude are simply, thank you."

"As I sit in my room, writing an article for my school paper, AIM House came to mind. I was thinking about how different and positive college is this year as opposed to two years ago; except for the fact that my girlfriend is now in London for a semester. I am doing well in my classes and I am keeping up with my studies as well as being more thoughtful. I used to be pretty egocentric and did not give the appropriate appreciation to the feelings of others. People at school have even noticed the difference in my behavior and many have said as much to me. I feel, for the first time in my life, that I am actually a capable individual and AIM House has definitely played a significant role in my growth."
