RedCliff vs. Other Treatment Options For Teens

RedCliff offers the same level of clinical help for troubled teens as most residential treatment facilities and therapeutic schools. The biggest difference between Residential treatment centers, Therapeutic Schools and RedCliff is in the length of treatment and the treatment environment. A wilderness program will have a much greater life changing impact in a shorter amount of time. Residential treatment is more of a long-term treatment option. Therapeutic Schools mainly focus on academics with a secondary emphasis on therapy. Our years of experience suggest that a wilderness program is a great alternative or a tremendous transitional program prior to residential treatment or therapeutic schools. Many residential treatment centers and therapeutic schools prefer students that have graduated from a wilderness program prior to enrollment in their particular programs or school. Getting help for troubled teens is often a frustrating and emotionally draining endeavor. Recent outcome studies show Redcliff to be one of the most successful treatment programs available for troubled teens.
