The Intervention You Are Looking For!

If you're like many other parents that we talk to, you are at the end of your rope, at your wits end, and are seeking for someone to help you who understands your teen, who can help you get your teen back without spending a small fortune. You've also probably tried outpatient counseling, and your teen either wouldn't go, hated it, wouldn't talk, or was expert at manipulating the counselor to see things the exact same way your teen saw them. You may feel like you've tried everything else under the sun already to no avail.

Or for others of you, if you look back at the last school year you notice something was different with your teen, something changed. You noticed your son or daughter's grades dropped and for seemingly the first time they didn't seem to care. They started hanging out with different friends, holding things back from you, or becoming withdrawn altogether. You don't know if they are going through is just a phase, or if they are starting down a rough path. You don't know what to do if anything, but you know that something has to change.

If you can relate to any of the above, the help we offer may be just what you are looking for.

In-home intervention may be a good alternative to residential treatment for troubled teens dealing with any of the following issues.

• Defiance
• Verbal abuse towards parents
• Loss of interest in positive activities
• Isolation from family
• Blaming others for problems
• Sneaking out/running away
• Poor choice of peers
• Lying and manipulating
• Stealing
• Substance abuse
• School truancy and failure
• Internet abuse
• Pornography
• Sexually acting out
• Depression
• Eating disorders
• Compulsive behaviors

Feelings behind these behaviors are often complex and may be driven by any or all of the following:

• ADHD/ADD/ODD
• Low self-esteem
• Abuse
• Adoption (Including Reactive Attachment Disorder)
• Depression
• Learning Disabilities
• Neglect
• Divorce
• Genetic mental health issues
• Loss
• Real or perceived rejection
• Conflict in the home

In-home intervention is most likely not the right choice if having your teen in your own home might cause concern for you or your families safety, or if your teen has exhibited any suicidal behaviors.

Residential treatment programs are generally very good at helping your teen see the destruction and heartache they've caused, and help teens overcome issues that have plagued them for years. This in and of itself is huge, and the benefit should not be discounted. But, there is one area where everyone can agree that residential treatment falls short, helping translate improvement in a residential setting to the real world.

When a teen is in residential treatment they are surrounded by supportive peers, educators, counselors, therapists, and doctors all championing their recovery. At the end of treatment teens leave that supportive safety net and return to the same neighborhood, same school, same environment they were in back when they were driving you crazy. We typically see teens come home and continue their success for about a month past treatment (both for wilderness and residential programs). After about a month of forging ahead without that same safety net in place even the best teens will revert to some of their old friends or behaviors, may even fully relapse.

An in-home intervention does require a greater commitment from you as a parent, but if you persist, you have the advantage of helping your teen recover on his/her own turf. A successful intervention will not only cost you less, but it will allow you to avoid a rough transition back home from residential treatment.

NOTE: For parents who do choose residential treatment, we recommend you either consider only programs who offer full transition services including weekly meetings for at least 2-3 months after your teen returns home, or contract with a third party to provide this type transition service. Doing so will make the money you spent more worthwhile, and will reduce your teens risk of relapse.

We started eProgramSearch.com after working in the residential treatment industry for 15 years in an effort to help parents searching for help for troubled teens more easily and transparently find information about residential treatment programs. After years of speaking with many parents about the heartache they are facing with their teens, and how out of reach the tuition for residential programs is, we began working with doctors and therapists within the adolescent treatment industry to create a solution far better than outpatient counseling, and much less expensive than residential treatment. The in-home intervention options that we now offer are all provided by doctors and therapists who have worked extensively with troubled teens, they know what it takes for you as a parent to get your teen back.

The staff are incredibly professional, discreet and prepared. I cannot think of one conversation where we did not come out with solid, pragmatic and effective ideas for how to better manage our relationship with our teens. This program is not theoretical, it is all about action and process and it works. Our facilitator Bryan is a great teacher, coach and therapist rolled into one. He is incredibly organized and remembers everything. He is equally unafraid to confront a parent or a teen and let them know what he thinks.

The one-to-one interaction with Tim and corresponding teaching materials helped us hone in on the very factors that influenced negative behavior and thinking in our household. Tim even recognized ways we could improve sibling dynamics and helped us see how to apply the same principles our son was benefitting from to the specific issues of the brother and sister. Tim�s level of caring and professionalism gave us great hope and an arsenal of knowledge andtactics that we are confident will keep us moving down the road to success, not just for our son, but our entire family.

Bryan, our transition specialist took us from being scared, nervous and feeling inadequate to being confident, determined and excited to take on this challenge. And our son has done wonderfully. He is now 180 days sober, has gone back to his previous school, and is again interested in the things that he once loved. He is on the varsity bowling team, made the honor roll and has been accepted into college!

With all seriousness, I now realize how wise Kelly is for her years as the words of advice she shared with us last spring were reiterated by us to Amy many times�.and will continue to be! Her advice and comforting guidance played a key role in how we dealt with our daughter and we are (at least so far) a success story that Kelly deserves to take much credit for, so PLEASE use us as a reference any time!!

Dianne & Jim, Massachusetts

During each phone call Michelle was engaged and in touch with what was going on with our daughter and easily tuned into what we were sharing and experiencing. I'm not a big fan of phone calls...I've always wanted to be face to face when talking with friends because I get to see the body language.....but I've come to appreciate how effective they can be. She was able to sense the words and apprehension and draw it out or work through it as necessary. Our trust in the relationship was able to grow through those calls.

The systematic approach you provide offers crucial structure and support for both child and family. Much of what helps kids succeed in boarding school can be implemented at home, with your help. If our son does eventually need to go into Residential Treatment when he is older, there is no possible scenario where we wouldn�t use you as aftercare support.
