You have many options of help for troubled teens available.
Teens often refuse to listen to family members and are more open to learning and guidance from strangers. Parents may find needed relief when teens are placed outside their community.
Military- or Boot Camp-style schools may benefit troubled teens who are particularly resistant to authority. We only refer into programs with proven success rates and whose staff use appropriate methods of discipline.
If outpatient treatments have failed, a teenager may require inpatient hospitalization. These teens may have received a diagnosis of a psychiatric disorder and may exhibit various behaviors that threaten to harm themselves or others.
Oppositional defiance disorder (defiant disorder)
Substance abuse
Other behavior issue or cognitive disorder
My Name is Luis Nava my son Andreas, while having a heart that is as big as all outdoors had struggled for years in every setting we had him in from public and private schools in Acapulco Mexico to public and private schools in Louisville Kentucky. Andreas is a fun but tough kid and was always in trouble ... When we as a family settled into Louisville to start our son in high school things became really complicated because Andreas started to hang out with the wrong crowd and started to do Pot and went off the rails... The Program made all the difference and allowed us to restore proper boundaries and limits and our son is doing great ... I would highly recommend them

I am an eighteen year-old graduate of Boot Camp for teens. I entered at 17, directly from county jail. A few instances of smoking marijuana with friends had snowballed into total delinquency and I was facing a criminal record. I was luckily able to continue high school and eliminate this record. I learned how I can make the right choices to live a happier,more successful life. I was able to regain spiritual strength positive reinforcement I have received and I believe this to be one of the key factors of a successful healing process, as it has been for myself.
