Our Mission
We Don’t Just Help People Get Sober
We Help Them Reclaim Their Lives.
At In The Gap Academy, our mission is to provide high-quality, culturally sensitive substance use treatment and reentry support to individuals from underserved and underrepresented communities.
We believe every person deserves a real chance to recover — not just through therapy, but through housing, job readiness, peer support, and practical tools for life.
Many of our clients come to us after trying programs that didn’t work — programs that judged, punished, or overwhelmed them. We built ITG Academy to offer something different: a space where compassion meets accountability, and where healing is supported at every level.
How We Deliver on Our Mission
Whole-Person Support
We treat the full individual — not just the addiction or diagnosis. That means housing support, ID recovery, family involvement, emotional regulation, and more.
Culturally Responsive Care
We affirm and reflect the identities of the communities we serve. Clients receive care from people who understand their reality, and we train our team in cultural humility and trauma-informed practices.
Accountability Without Punishment
Clients don’t need more judgment. They need consistent, clear guidance. We model structure, set boundaries, and create environments that support change — not compliance through fear.
Real-World Preparation
Our programs are designed to help clients thrive beyond our doors — with life skills, job support, transportation coordination, and post-treatment planning that supports independence.
Community Partnerships
We work hand-in-hand with providers, probation officers, courts, schools, and families to ensure every client has a connected, consistent support system.
Who We Serve
We work with people who are often overlooked by traditional systems:
Returning citizens navigating life after incarceration
Adolescents and young adults showing early signs of substance use
Medicaid recipients with limited access to quality care
Families facing crisis, conflict, or trauma
Court-referred clients in need of compliant, nonjudgmental care
Whether someone is struggling with substance use, reentry, housing instability, or family breakdown, we offer practical, person-centered solutions grounded in clinical excellence.

A Mission That’s Personal
ITG Academy was founded because we saw the gaps — the places where people were falling through the cracks, often without anyone noticing. We don’t just want to be part of the system. We want to help change it.
Our mission is about more than helping people survive. It’s about helping them rebuild a life they want to live.
Let’s Take the First Step Together
Most clients who come to us have tried other programs — and left feeling judged, dismissed, or stuck. What makes ITG Academy different is that we don’t just treat the symptoms. We treat the systemic barriers holding people back.
You don’t have to do this alone. And you don’t have to settle for less. ITG Academy offers treatment that transforms — because we treat the whole person.
