[QUOTE="newsolutions, post: 637654, member: 18476"] MiswestMom I would have to agree that Wilderness Therapy is not a one size fits all type of program, however with proper aftercare long term results are very common. There are new programs out there that are referred to as "Urban Wilderness Therapy" that enforce young people to grow up and stand on their own feet, not just yell at them and make them do push ups. The fact is, behavior disorders can lead to very destructive and unhappy lives. Saying that he is 17 is no excuse for poor behavior. This type of attitude has become a generational issue. I believe placing a young man in a program is a much safer alternative than allowing him to receive natural consequences such as Death or Imprisonment. [/QUOTE]
