    Therapeutic Boarding Schools Are Effective, But Not Always the Best Option for Troubled Teens from Collin County, TX

    Therapeutic boarding schools have often been used to treat troubled teen’s conditions. But how often does treating the problem this way result in undesired affects? Oftentimes, the teen will lose touch with their family and feel as if they were abandoned and un-loved. Should struggling teenagers be sent far away from their home in Collin County, TX? We don’t think so.

    I.O.P. – A More Ideal Situation for Teens from Collin County, TX

    These solutions were inadequate for us here at Waterford Academy, so we sought to find a better alternative by implementing an Intensive Outpatient Treatment Program for teenage boys and girls, or as we like to call it, a “Therapeutic Day School.” We found that when the teen stays with us during the day to receive their treatment and education, then going home at night is crucial in their rehabilitation. Maintaining a good family relationship is key in a long lasting recovery.

    Waterford Academy knows how difficult of a time this can be. If you are a parent of a struggling teen and are looking into treatment for your child, please don’t hesitate to call Waterford Academy for a free consultation. We can be reached at 866-439-0355.

    We here at Waterford want you to expect the best possible treatment. We seek to help the family understand the child’s condition by having family therapy sessions. Knowing the process helps the parents relate to the circumstances, helping the child feel loved during the process. It is our goal to maintain the love that you have provided them, while they receive the necessary treatment.

    “I truly believe that everything that we do and everyone that we meet is put in our path for a purpose. There are no accidents; we’re all teachers – if we’re willing to pay attention to the lessons we learn, trust our positive instincts and not be afraid to take risks or wait for some miracle to come knocking at our door.” Marla Gibbs

    “Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not: the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.” Calvin Coolidge

    The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the University of Wisconsin’s Population Health Institute have released their annual County Health Rankings. Nearly every county in the country is ranked on health outcomes (how healthy we are) and on health factors (how healthy we can be). Once again, Collin County has been ranked first overall, and first in both outcomes and factors, for Texas counties.
