Boarding Schools
If your child is struggling with their current
educational setting they may need a change.
Our listings include: "recovery schools"
for youth who have struggled with using drugs or
alcohol; "day schools" for youth who need
to live at home and attend a structured school
setting; "boarding schools" for youth who
are best served by living and attending school
away from home and "military schools" for
youth who can benefit from intense structure. |
Educational Consultants
Experts in assessing the educational needs of
adolescents, "educational consultants"
can serve to assist you in determining the best
setting for your child's education. Many
times it will be determined that the best
alternative is for a youth to continue living at
home and attending their traditional school, but
with additional services, educational
consultants can assess these needs.

Residential
Treatment
There are numerous facilities around the country
that cater to assisting adolescents to stop
using alcohol and drugs. These facilities
may be short "detox" facilities for youth who
have become dependent on drugs or alcohol, to
"outpatient" and "inpatient" facilities which
are serve the longer term needs of adolescents. |
Intervention
Specialists
We all understand that it can be difficult to
"force" adolescents to do anything against their
will even when it is in their best interest.
Intervention specialists can no more force an
adolescent to do something against their will
then can parents; they are however expert in
assisting families to work with adolescents to
get the help they need. |
Transport Services
These services offer transportation of
adolescents who need to be escorted to a
facility. Certain "secure transport"
services offer additional programs including
tracking and locating runaways. |
Camps for
Troubled Teens
Camps have
proliferated across the country. These
programs come in all shapes and sizes.
There are "wilderness programs" that cater
specifically to youth with alcohol and
drug problems, others that target behavioral
problems and still others for youth who would
like an opportunity to explore where they are
going in life.. |
