Some troubled teens may be fortunate enough to avoid incarceration or hospitalization for their actions, by being assigned to a residential treatment program. Programs like these offer a range of services, including drug and alcohol treatment, confidence building, military-style discipline, and psychological counseling. They address a variety of addiction, behavioral, and emotional problems that have led to some teens making the wrong choices in their lives. This volume examines this alternative, its benefits and its weak points. Includes primary and secondary sources from a variety of perspectives; eyewitnesses, scientific journals, government officials, and many others.
