SELF's primary mission
is to provide services to individuals which enable them to achieve self-sufficiency in life management by developing strength of character and economic independence. The way in which this is accomplished is truly UNIQUE.

SELF, Inc. celebrates the inherent value and dignity of all human beings and creates within its programs a feeling of hope, unity and family.

SELF, Inc. develops a therapeutic community of peers within each residential program through the use of community meetings, the election and training of peer counselors to serve as role models and the hiring of more than 85% of the staff from graduates of the programs. Clients learn to assume responsibility for their own recovery and development.

SELF, Inc. provides "clean and sober' training that does not focus solely on achieving sobriety, viewing that as only the first step. Clients are taught that it is essential to turn away from the misdirected habits and to use the basic life principles - love, respect, truth, honesty, care, compassion, forgiveness, and acceptance of differences to rebuild their lives.
