Everyday Successes at Integrity House

pubrel — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 18:25:35 +0000

While Integrity House has been blessed with many important visitors and events this summer, the most impressive successes have been those of our student-members. Integrity House believes that lifelong change can occur within the lives of our clients through the right resources and support. These changes are apparent everyday on our Newark and Secaucus campuses.

Today, we celebrate the accomplishments of three young men in Secaucus who have recieved their GED. Nancy Vassallo, a teacher in the Education Department in Secaucus, says that “The best part of my job is giving them the results. Sometimes they don’t believe me until I show them the paper! And so many of them are so used to failing that they have no hope of passing until I make them take a practice test to prove that they can indeed succeed!”

Check out the Results & Successes page to read more about the successes of our clients and reflections on their time at Integrity House.

Staff and student-members in Newark hosted a celebration in honor of the 42nd Anniversary of Integrity House on Monday, August 23rd in the Rose Garden. In 1968, Dave Kerr and Rich Grossklaus began hosting treatment groups in Belleville which eventually led them to the Lincoln Park campus in Newark. For decades, Integrity House has built a strong reputation for being a leader within the substance abuse treatment community and creating long-term change within the lives of our clients. It would be nearly impossible to count the number of lives touched by the organization within the past 42 years.

When you trip and fall, you often need a hand to help you stand again, a firm grip to make sure you are steady on your feet. The Therapeutic Community(TC), which forms the basis for all Integrity House programs, provides a hand with a firm grip to help substance abusers stand again — to stay drug-free on their own. It also offers stability and encouragement to help individuals change lifestyles and move toward a positive integration into the community.
