How and When to Admit Your Teen to a ​Program for Troubled Teens

Ask yourself these questions to determine when to enroll your son in our program for troubled teens.

Realizing your child is in trouble is heartbreaking, especially if drugs and alcohol are involved. At some point, you will need some help to give your son direction and help him turn his life around. We want to be that help. The goal within our program for troubled teens is to work with youth and parents to overcome addictions and negativity. We want your son to realize his place in this world as a child of God.

Enough is Enough

There is no magic moment when parents call up a teen rehab facility and start packing the suitcases. It happens differently for each individual and family. Our website offers quite a few pointers on how to decipher whether your son is ready for help. You can ask yourself questions such as:

Are you concerned for your child’s safety or the safety of others at your child’s hands?

Is your son lacking drive and motivation?

Do you often not know where your son is and what types of activities he is involved in?

Are you at the end of your patience and unable to deal with your troubled teen on your own?

By asking yourself these questions, you can determine how necessary it is for your son to enroll in a specialized, faith-based program for troubled teens like ours.
