After an exciting first week in the new house, Community Leader, Nina Johnston, reports that the students have adjusted well to their new setting and love the new program, "The guys have been great. They have all participated in groups and have been extra helpful getting the place in order. They love making dinner and feeling like they are at home. Becket House at Warren reminds me of why I enjoy working with struggling youth. The atmosphere here makes it so easy to sit on the porch and just talk with the boys."
The Warren Village Inn is a historic building originally built in 1891. The stately Victorian is situated on a scenic rise of land in the Baker River Valley. Great care and detail were taken by the Newton family, which bought and restored the building in 2001. The inn provides an ideal atmosphere for students to work through their recovery program as they move toward success in life. On moving day, the students were very optimistic about their new house. One student eagerly commented, "This place is sweet! It feels like home, only better."

Becket House at Warren celebrated five students’ successful treatment progress by attending a Red Sox game at Fenway Park on June 17. These students have completed the Prime for Live Substance Use Risk-Reduction program, participated in the Making Changes Hiking Program and four were honored for completion of the Substance Abuse Treatment Pathway. 
Warren and Denali, from Mount Prospect Academy, students recently went to the beach to enjoy activities that were substance free. The goal of the trip was to show the students how to have SOBER fun in their home community and they had a BLAST. Although it was quite cloudy and pretty cold, everyone braved the water and all swam or boogie boarded. A competitive Bocce on the beach game was enjoyed by all. Dining out at a local taco joint was the perfect way to wrap up the day.
