For more than a decade we have owned and operated inpatient and outpatient services for struggling teens. We have also operated a state foster care company with DCFS(Department of Child and Family Services) and DYC(Department of Youth Corrections) contracts. More recently we have developed, owned and operated Turning Point at Granita Park which is a residential treatment center for troubled youth. This is a 9-12 month program that costs approximately $50,000 per year. Each month hundreds of parents contact us seeking help for their son or daughter, however, less than 2% of families can afford such help. Two years ago we were contacted by the State of Utah to clinically oversee a program for one of our local counties. The purpose of this program was to work with adolescents and their families to empower the parents and prevent the adolescent from entering state custody. We adapted the techniques that we used every day at Turning Point to be implemented by parents in their own homes. The results have been astounding. We were pleasantly surprised to discover that teens who were originally recommended for long term residential treatment, were able to solve their problems at home a lot quicker for a fraction of the price. With the family unit in mind we completely revamped our entire program and added a 30-day inpatient program followed by 60-day aftercare plan. This program will empower you as a parent, while helping your adolescent work through their behavioral, emotional, and mental health issues. |
