Residential Placement (Schools for Troubled Teens, Boot Camps, Wilderness Programs, Boarding Schools, RTC's, Youth Boot Camps, etc.) - Free Placement Assistance via this link

Free Trial?
None (Costs between $3,800 and $19,000 per Month, for 9-18 Months)

Guarantee:
None

Intervention Level:
Residential (out-of-home)

Parental Involvement:
Minimal (Parents are often referred to as THE CAUSE of the troubled teen's problems - In such schools for troubled teens very little respect is held for the value of parental involvement in the intervention process - This is precisely the opposite of The Total Transformation Program, wherein the parent's strength is critical to the troubled teen's recovery)

Long-Term Effectiveness:
Is often translated into an extended punishing event that can permanently fracture family relationships; Solutions created in schools for troubled teens, where the dynamics of true family and social life are not present, have an unreliable track record for permanent recovery; Cost analysis shows no guarantee of success for maximum financial investment; Little or no investment of parental time and effort except for periodic phone calls, planned parent visits, and (depending upon the school) occasional family therapy via telephone

Option Comparison:

Absent there being a real and present danger to self, others, or property, The Total Transformation Program is the better option. However, even if a School for Troubled Teens is necessary, The Total Transformation Program should ALSO be implemented in the home environment to prepare the parents for the troubled teen's return home.
Effective management of post-intervention teens in the home environment is critical to long-term success.

Does Your Child Need a School for Troubled Teens?

Often when teenagers struggle they are merely displaying a host of symptoms related to deeper issues. If these issues can be identified, and your child helped to recognize and overcome them, then the probability of a successful recovery is heightened. These self-defeating issues can be tied to negative behaviors and self perception, low self-esteem, authority problems, etc. Some youth fall into the trap of self medication through alcohol abuse and various legal and illegal drugs. Others struggle with ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, and other issues that spawn related problems and patterns of behavior in their dealings with adults. But regardless of what the origins of their issues are, there is still a young person in there - very likely an intelligent young person - looking for real solutions.

Thousands of families throughout the country have turned to specialized schools for troubled teens to help their children find answers to their deep issues, related behavioral problems, and to experience academic success. The best of these schools are meant to help, rather than to punish teens. They provide 24x7 supervision, guidance, and support. It is important for you to understand that the best troubled teen schools are highly structured, though they are less punitive than many other treatment centers. Instead, in a safe environment, they focus on real solutions rather than superficial control of their students.
