I also have a question regarding three rivers. How long would my teen be attending? I have looked on the website and it says 42 days minimum is this accurate?Or would my teen stay longer?

Most wilderness programs have a specified length of time you must agree to "pay" for.  More often than not, the child stays longer than the minimum requirement.  But, in the programs I've looked into and know about, you can go get your kid at any time and bring them home.. You are just required to commit to the tuition.

I dont know about 3rivers specifically, but if they say minimum, they mean minimum, not limit or maximum.  some programs offer fixed lengths, others open ended, and at least one has a fixed with a fixed (somewhat different) extension option available.

I think good wilderness programs are highly valuable, but are not for everybody.  Some programs ought not be for anybody.  But before you even get to looking at a specific program, you ought to answer the questions already posted:
" What is the kid's problem/problems?

What steps have you taken prior to arriving at this point?

What sort of background does the child have? "

Then ask your questions about stay, safety, staff certifications etc OF THE PROGRAM FIRST, then maybe check the program's answers against what you get here and elsewhere.

Fixed or minimum lengths are not therapeutic at all. Therapy is also CONSENTUAL. Non-consentual treatment is only acceptable if theyre insane, or in danger of hurting themselves or others, and ONLY until theyre stabilized - if its a week, a day, aor a hour.

REAL Medical hospitals wont keep someone locked up and/or tied up for any longer than its absolutely necessary for risk of them hurting themsleves or others, unless they want to get sued for a loooooooong time.

Also, just what is wrong with your daugther? What are you trying to fix?

Unless you have a good reason, why on earth would you have your child shipped off?
