Option #2:

Residential Placement (Boot Camps for Boys, Wilderness Programs, Troubled Teen Boarding Schools, RTC's)

Free Trial?
None (Costs between $3,800 and $19,000 per Month, for 9-18 Months)

Guarantee:
None

Intervention Level:
Residential (out-of-home)

Parental Involvement:
Minimal (Parents are often referred to as THE CAUSE of the troubled teen's problems - In such boot camps for boys very little respect is held for the value of parental involvement in the intervention process - This is precisely the opposite of The Total Transformation Program, wherein the parent's strength is critical to the troubled boy's recovery)

Long-Term Effectiveness:
Is often translated into an extended punishing event that can permanently fracture family relationships; Solutions created in boot camps for boys, where the dynamics of true family and social life are not present, have an unreliable track record for permanent recovery; Cost analysis shows no guarantee of success for maximum financial investment; Little or no investment of parental time and effort except for periodic phone calls, planned parent visits, and (depending upon the program) occasional family therapy via telephone

Option Comparison:

Absent there being a real and present danger to self, others, or property, The Total Transformation Program is the better option. However, even if Residential Placement (including Boot Camps for Boys) is necessary The Total Transformation Program should ALSO be implemented in the home environment to prepare the parents for the troubled teen's return home.
Effective management of post-intervention teens in the home environment is critical to long-term success.

Critical Note Regarding Boot Camps for Boys: Before ANY other intervention options are implemented for troubled teen boys we recommend a serious look at the Total Transformation Program. Why? Read Here, or consider the intervention comparison on the right. Also note that we (the authors of InsightPros) are professionals in the residential treatment care industry. We have operated residential treatment programs at every professional level from line staff to transitional and executive directors. We know the strengths and the vast weaknesses of residential programs (especially youth boot camps for boys). Before you throw your money into residential treatment take an honest look at working with your teen's problems through The Total Transformation Program.
If your teen is struggling with behavioral, academic, emotional, or psychological problems, you are undoubtedly stressed. Today's media has glorified the idea of "hammering home" the concepts of discipline through boot camps for boys and troubled teens. Don't be fooled. There are better options. Teens who enter boot camps with emotional and behavioral problems rarely get the help they truly need, and may actually revert to even worse behaviors when they return home. Boot camps are NOT the best intervention option. We're here to help the parents, families, and friends of these teens to find better intervention.

With proper support and your commitment, you can give your troubled teen a greater chance at success ... for happiness ... for life.

Boot Camps for Boys are a Mistake

Often when teens struggle with the numerous issues they face in today's society they become, frankly, quite unpleasant. Thousands of families throughout the country have felt that the best way to get their troubled boys back on track is to send them to boot camps. The idea is to both "straighten them out" and to legally punish them in the most painful way possible. However, unreported in both the media and from these programs is the fact that there is very little statistical evidence that boot camps for boys have a long-term impact on the success of the child. In fact, there is mounting evidence that they are both ineffective and in many cases detrimental.

InsightPros suggests that you research all treatment and intervention options as you consider how to handle your teen's problems. The time taken to consider educational consultants, residential treatment centers, coaching services, etc., may save you tens of thousands of dollars. But more importantly, it may help you save your child, and plant the seeds for his long-term success. Don't allow the emotional trauma of the moment to get you to make a poor decision regarding your child. Become involved with our free services. Speak to coaches, consultants, and therapists. Find out the best way to save your son.

Are you familiar with all of the intervention options - beyond boot camps for boys - to help your son? How are you going to know what your son needs? InsightPros may have treatment options that can help.

Beyond boot camps for boys, what kinds of treatment will build the life changing self-esteem and confidence that your son needs to be successful for the long run?

A major problem facing boys who struggle with the issues listed above is low self-esteem or feelings of worthlessness.

Many, if not all, of your son's destructive behaviors could merely be symptoms of this one core problem.

Be certain that the intervention you choose builds, rather than destroys his self esteem, instilling life-long positive change by dealing with the core issues.

An abusive or overly restrictive setting may not build the confidence and self-esteem your son needs.

If your son exits a boot camp for boys with the same low self-image that he entered with, then he will continue to engage in the behaviors that validate his self image.

Many parents choose to pursue interventions that address the symptoms only. Attacking the symptoms will drive the destructive behaviors underground - only to resurface at a later date. This approach wastes valuable time and resources and may even make things worse.
