Dream on- this will help the wilderness industry. The problem of the cost is still there, though. Upwards of $10K for every 3 weeks..... hardly any covered by insurance.

Actually, I have had 'one of these types of kids' whose problems began AFTER 6 months in a program.
So what did Eckerd Youth ALternative, Crossroads, Circles of Care, University Behavioral Center do for him that dad couldn't?

After BRAT CAMP, parents who send their kids to WT will be too ashamed to admit it.

I wonder were you faced with a choice of DCF removing the other children from your home ? We had a Doctor from a crisis center tell us we where nuts if we brought him home... he was homocidal, sucidial and acting out sexually.
He never made it long enough at Eckerd to get help, then went from the crisis center to University Behavioral Center. What could we not provide him at home ... 24 hour a day supervision. He was at the point that he could not control himself to get through a school day and I would be the one to go pick him up. It got so bad that I would bring my site superintendent with me out of fear. At home we could no longer control him when he would go into a rage, and he made a target out of the 2 youngest, who at 3 & 5 really could not protect themselves.
At University Behavioral Center he continually refused to attempt to co-operate with any help provided/offered. In addition testing showed him to have a propensity to rape as a form of control over others. Believe me sending him into DCF custody was not a decision made lightly, however it was at the recommendation of over 20 mental health professionals from various agencies.
I wonder have you found anything that has worked for your child ? We would love to hear about it - all we want is for our son to have a productive life. Please do not assume it has been for lack of parenting on our part - we are actively involved in all of his therapy. Unfortunately the one thing we have learned through this process is that until he wants the help - he will continue down this destructive path.
