[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In patient rehabs and therapeutic boarding schools are most usually a bad choice parents with money make out of desperation.  I am not saying it might not work in a few cases, but I don't know of any.  The least best outcomes I have seen come out of kids taken away in the middle of the night and put in wilderness camps.  Usually on the advice of a consultant.

Dealing with a teen with problems large enough to consider these options is very hard work.  It seems so much easier to outsource it to these places.  But I firmly believe that having the family committed to having their child overcome the issues in a firm and kind, non-tough love way at home produces far better outcomes.

If you are lucky enough to have a trusted family member the child likes be in a position to take on your teen, that could work as well.[/quote]

I tend to agree with this and we are in thick of it right now with way too much weed. But I admit I’ve been tempted to outsource for awhile to at least get a break [/quote]

Same with us.  What are you doing? My son is 17 it’s gotten ridiculous. [/quote]

People who hire transport to get their kids to a place that can help them are usually desperate - often with a suicidal kid.  Hopefully you never have to be in such a tough situation. Try not to judge or generalize.[/quote]
