Some of those hasty decisions may involve cheating in school, skipping class, using alcohol, tobacco, or illegal drugs, going somewhere or being with someone that you do not approve of, or driving too fast under the influence of alcohol. But the consequences can include losing your trust, letting down family members, getting into trouble, hurting education and job prospects, causing illness or injury, or leading to other reckless behavior.

 

How Teen Intervention Works

We research and gather all the information about your troubled teen, from you the parent, and then look at all of the data to see which Therapeutic treatment options are going to be the most clinically appropriate for your adolescent. The Therapist and the Program Director work together on constructing either a 12 step method for substance abuse treatment or a detailed therapeutic treatment plan to help with the Intervention. The Therapist and Program Director will then facilitate a meeting with the Parents via email or phone, and discuss in detail what actions need to take place to get your struggling teen the treatment that is needed. Some parents worry that they are not going to be able to get their adolescent to a Boarding School by themselves, so we offer a therapeutic transport team that will help in the Intervention process. Our transport team is very therapeutic, therefore the transition from home to the boarding school is smooth and therapeutic.
