Kids Helping Kids

Kids Helping Kids is a behavior modification program which was based on Straight, Inc. Straight, Inc. was closed in 1993 due to the burden of lawsuits and allegations of abuse.

In the past, Kids Helping Kids was located in Hebron, Kentucky, on Kentucky Route 20, also known as Petersburg Road. This facility was located at this location throughout the 1980s. In the early 1990s the program relocated to 6070 Branch Hill-Guinea Pike in Milford, Ohio, where it still operates today. This building in Milford is the building Straight, Inc. used before its closure.

This facility was owned and operated by Tri-State Drug Rehabilitation and Counseling Programs until it was absorbed by Pathway Family Center in 2006. It also shares techniques with Pathway Family Center.
