Three Springs Waygookin: just because you worked in a treatment program, and didn't seem to do such a good job at that--you have no right to tell ANONS to "fuck off." And this woman does need to read Teen Advocates USA before she sends her son off to some wilderness program to possibly be "marched to death" like some of these kids were! I may be an ANON--but I have never put some kid in a "take down hold" like YOU HAVE! And I never worked at some FACILITY and witnessed abuse like YOU DID without reporting it to the proper authorities. So...save your little judgements and "holier than thou" attitude for someone who cares what YOU THINK!
This woman is ready to enroll her kids in some facility that just may harm her son more than just leaving him totally alone to do as he pleases with no help at all.

Settle down, Joyce. TSW is a good guy and his heart is in the right place. Attacking him is not going to help Jelly.
I can understand how people around here get upset with anons. Use a login and try to be responsible...

His counselor feels he is very immature emotionally and mentally for his age and he feels that a job would help him and he does think if he had some time away from distractions to grow it would help. he has also cautioned me on thorough investigation of programs and would also prefer a local one, although he, again has not heard of anything here in AZ that is credible.

When the program gets done with him, he will have regressed to the elementary school level emotionally.
These places do not foster emotional growth. They require strict obedience to their program at the expense of individuality. If your kid is already susceptible to peer pressure, places like these will ruin any possible growth, as they are based on peer pressure to effect behavior modification.
I would suggest more parental control. He goes to school, comes directly home and out to counseling in your community. Wherever he goes, you go (or another responsible adult).
What you're describing, in my professional opinion, does not rise to the level of residential treatment (not to mention the place you're looking at doesn't even have a psychologist on staff, so they can't possibly offer junior what he needs).
Hang in there, Jelly. Use your judgement. Don't allow pressure/scare tactics to dictate your behavior.

Try Blue Hills Academy - they are very good as they are former WWASP employees. Problem with this one is that your kid has to agree to go, sign in and agree to stay, otherwise, the laws in Arizona say that no matter how old they are, they can walk or run...
