What can I do for my troubled teen??? :
There are many options in helping troubled teens get
off the path of destruction. Many of which will
help create lasting relationships within their family
and peer groups.
For severe cases of defiance, drug use, or behavior
disorders we recommend gathering resources and meeting
with your local therapist. Gather as much
information as possible using the web, friends, family,
or church groups. We've never heard that any one
was too prepared.

catalogs, brochures, etc) click

Through the process of gathering information please
keep in mind that there is no such thing as a quick fix
to these problems. Your teen's behavior didn't happen
overnight and it won't be fixed overnight. Some
residential treatment centers or specialty boarding
schools have average stay lengths of up to 12 or more
months. This ensures a lasting change in the
troubled teen behavior.
Some things to keep in mind if you are considering
schools or treatment centers :
- Will the school or program provide my teen the
proper therapy, if needed?
- Is the treatment center licensed (specialty
boarding schools are typically not required to hold
licensing as they don't provide therapy)?
- Does the treatment program or specialty school
have an aftercare / follow up program? If so, for
how long after successful completion?
- Is the staff properly licensed / trained?
- It is always recommended to walk through the
facility before placement. If you can't do it - try
to send someone in your place.
- Always ask for references from other parents who
have made the same decision.
- Does the specialty school or treatment center have
verified statistics showing that they are
experienced in helping troubled teens.
We are here to help you make an educated
decision.
