Vermont adolescents who are suffering from various forms of mental and behavioral health issues including depression, anxiety, attention deficit disorder (ADD), ODD, substance addiction and more deserve the real opportunity to heal and recover long-term so that they may go on to live up to their truest potential. If you are looking for help for your teen, you are not alone and there is hope. Here are some suggestions on how to get the best help for your child. We are a residential teen treatment program that has helped thousands of teens and their families since 2002 and we want to make sure you are equipped with the facts so you make the best decision of care for your child.
It seems logical to send your child to a teen treatment program that is close to home, but we strongly suggest you look into programs outside your location. Your teen has most likely been struggling for a while now and that can create a lot of stress and emotional sickness within the home. You, your family, and your teen need space apart to breathe, heal, and each focus on their own health and well-being. Sending your child out-of-state for care can offer a greater opportunity of recovery long after they have graduated from their program. In our experience simply getting a struggling teen out of a space where they have been suffering from can provide the best opportunity to truly heal. Another reason we suggest not attending a program close to home is so that your child will be less tempted to run away, try to contact negative peer influences, or manipulate the family into allowing them to come home too early. Remember that you have gone through this journey with them and so you need time and space to heal as well. Attending a therapeutic program out-of-state will help to provide your teen with the opportunity to learn new skills, explore hidden talents, and build healthy relationships with friends, family and with themselves.
Most commercial insurance companies can help offset cost of care, but that still leaves you with the fear of what it will cost you. The key is finding out what programs your insurance will cover, how long they will cover for, and what your out-of-pocket costs might be. A good therapeutic program will help you navigate your healthcare coverage and even advocate for your child’s care. When calling programs that interest you, have your insurance information ready. This way you will know right away if they take your insurance and then you can make an educated decision on your teen’s care. We know that the cost of care can in many cases seem overwhelming and unattainable, but there are ways to navigate costs of treatment so do not base your decision on cost alone. Like college, this is an investment into your child’s health and future and should be treated just as important if not more.
