What was he thinking? How could she? If you find yourself wondering what your teen was thinking, the answer may be “not much.” Teens often make snap judgments based on impulse, especially when situations come up quickly, leaving teens with little time to sort through the pros and cons.
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. But the consequences can include losing your trust, letting down friends, getting into trouble, hurting education and job prospects, causing illness or injury, or leading to other reckless behavior.

If you have found this website you are already making the first step(s) towards getting your boy or girl the help they need. Each of the Therapeutic Boarding Schools and Residential Treatment Programs, which we represent, offer a structured and controlled environment that is safe. The teen years are hard and we want each teen that enters the program to have all the tools neccessary to deal with life's trials and hardships so that they may succeed in every aspect of their lives.

How Teen Intervention Works

We research and gather all the information about your teen, from you the parent, and then look at all of the data to see which treatment options are going to be the most clinically appropriate for your teen. The Therapist and the Program Director work together on constructing either a 12 step method for treatment or a detailed 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 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 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.

Signs that your Teen Made Need Intervention

If you notice a change in your teen's normal activities or behavior, and you cannot explain it as due to the typical issues of adolescent behavior, it may be a sign of alcohol or substance abuse. Pay attention to changes in your teens appearance, friends and peer group, way of expressing him or herself, school performance, extracurricular activities or hobbies, and overall behavior.

If your teen now refuses to do chores, misses curfew regularly, creates a chaotic and hostile environment in the home, and frequently appears to be depressed, agitated, or "sleepy," you should investigate further, maintain clear channels of communication, and set clear boundaries and rules.
Signs to Notice if your Teen Needs Intervention:
Change in Sleeping Patterns
Locking Bedroom Door
Bloodshot Eyes
Change in Peer Groups and Close Friends
Slurred Speech or Easily Aggitated

All these are signs that your adolescent needs teen intervention into a Therapeutic Boarding School immediately. The longer you wait the more severe his/her issues become and may lead to Juvenile Detention or worse "Death".

It is important to note that some Therapeutic Boarding Schools are not well-suited for Behavioral Intervention. It is important that both the parent and the school be honest about their needs and resources. We can provide exceptional assistance in this area. Don't "misplace" your troubled teen in a program that can't actually help your child. We take all the guess work out of this process and want to make sure your child is in a safe secure treatment environment where he/she is getting the treatment needed.
