- In some programs, the teen continues to live at home; in others
the teen lives away from home
- Some are in the wilderness; almost all are outside urban centers
- Some are locked facilities, others are voluntary
- Some are extremely confrontational, others are not
- Some are based on a 12– Step model
- Some encourage medication while others discourage it
- Some emphasize academics, and others promote emotional growth
- Some are coed; some are single sex
There are programs to meet
the needs of every teen and family. Even if your son or daughter is
over 18 years old, there are programs to meet his/her needs. Deciding
on a particular program or school is difficult, and a professional
can help. Parents must determine their own goals and realistic goals
for their teen. It is crucial that teen, family, and program match.
My job is to help you work through your questions, worries, and fears,
to create solutions to lift your teen out of turmoil.
