SavingTeens Methodology

Michael Age: 15

Juvenile detention stays: 5

Key Problems: Drug and alcohol abuse, theft, emotional disturbance

Saving Teens helped to send him to a 12-week wilderness program, and

then helped place him in a therapeutic school.

Example: Full Residential

Michael Today: Sober five months; thriving academically

To his mother:

“I don't know who these people are or how you got this done, but I am

so grateful and amazed that people care about me and I promise not to

waste a day of it.”

After an intensive program, Saving Teens helps families pay for

ongoing aftercare counseling.

Our daughter’s toughest challenge: Incorporating her new

knowledge about herself into how life would be when she left

“her mountain home.” We returned home and she fell apart

within days!

After three weeks of weekly (and sometimes more than weekly)

calls I believe we are seeing miracles in the transition…
