The Troubled Teen Industry / Is there ANY program that is genuinely therapeutic?

The answer is YES you can find a therapeutic boarding school for your son. This is coming from another parent who was able to find such place for my deeply troubled child and she is a graduate and doing wonderfully.
There are too many people on this forum without first hand experience as a parent. Many are still deeply troubled chidden and young adults unable to move on with their life. I would not take their council since it is clouded by their overly strong opinions against any out side the home placement (which sounds unrealistic to keep your son home).
Watch who is responding to you, they are from a place that has no experience with parenting and they have never felt the deep loving obligation we have as a parent to help and facilitate our child's chance at wellness. Being at home, vegetating and getting worse is not the solution as they have all suggested for you to do?
I believe you need professional advice not opinions from a bunch of kids or people who worked at some facility that was abusive. Hire an educational counselor, one who is qualified by their professional academic experience and credentials to understand the educational needs and emotional and psychological needs of your child. There are place out there for him!
There are abusive placements so make sure you are careful in your choice. There are also unstable kids on this site so also make sure you pay attention to who is giving you advice!
