The Ridge Creek School / Hidden Lake Academy / Rancho Valmora in New Mexico
« on: February 26, 2006, 05:12:00 PM »
In New Mexico.  Believe me I've tried every single treatment possible at home and nothing works in the long run so don't talk to me about this because you have no idea what you are talking about.  I've never heard any positive comment on any type of therapeutic facility from you so I rather not hear your opinion because you are not objective.

If anyone else has had some experience with Rancho Valmora in New Mexico please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

The Troubled Teen Industry / HIDDEN LAKE ACADEMY OPTION
« on: January 12, 2006, 12:24:00 PM »
I'm still doing my research on therapeutic schools and the only tangible thing I found was from the NIH and the only talk about RTC and Hidden Lake is not one of those.

Usually from what I've learned RTC are residential treatments like Brown  Schools or so.

Hidden Lake seems to be accredited for therapeutic and academic purposes and please correct me (anyone) if I'm wrong.  

The program seems perfect for my son but I still have my doubts.  Some people say its ok but other on this forum no.

I currently have a list of parents of student who graduate from HLA and I intend to call all of them to ask them all kind of questions.

If someone has a good or bad experience with HLA please let me know.

I'm still searching for the best option for my son.

Julie:

You can't imagine how much I appreciate your answer.  You sounded honest and in the back of my head I had the same ideas but it they were blurry because most of this school advertise themselves as being the best thing and they are not.

I had my concerns, especially because I've research some news clips and the feedback I've gotten from them is not the best.

In fact I hired a educational consultant and even though I trust her I'm not sure she knows how the kids turn out once they go through the process of a therapeutic boarding school.

If possible, I will give you my personal e-mail address to discuss this further.  eroldan@prw.net

Hi:

I've notice you had a child in ASR and she did well.

In my case my son presents various conditions that is the reason why I'm considering sending him to ASR.  He has ADHD, OCD AND ODD.  We have explore every option possible at home with his therapists and nothing seems to work long term.

Would it be to much to ask you what made you enroll your daughter in ASR and how was the communication with the therapists.  Is she in college already?

My personal e-mail address is eroldan@prw.net

I will really appreciate your comments

Thank you

I'm a desperate parent looking for feedback on a few boardings schools I'm considering for my son.

I've read awful things on this site and i'm very concern.

The schools we are considering are: Swift River Academy or Hidden Lake Academy.

Can someone who have attended any of them give me their opinion, Please???
