Pull yourself together. If you have come to this point of placement you have thought long and hard about your options. THIS IS THE ONLY ANSWER! Doctrine of Discipline Immediately upon entry into the program your son will be immersed into a highly structured, highly disciplined program. Every moment will be planned and scheduled. He will be taught the fundamentals of Military Science. He will learn how to stand at attention, at ease, and at rest. He will learn how to face right, about face, and fall in, in a rank. He will have is head shaved and all personal belongings will be taken. He will hear over and over again that there are only a few rights... all other things are PRIVILEGES. He will be thoroughly trained and indoctrinated to the 7 Core Values and will make these a part of his everyday life. During the first 90 days he will spend the majority of his time learning how to obey orders and comply to directives. He will have his physical body pushed to it's limits and will spend many hours in "the Pit" (our physical training area). He will develop a team concept and will realize that he can do things he never thought he could do. During this time he will also take the Physical Readiness Training Test. This test will evaluate his physical capabilities. If he has worked hard he will pass. This will be the first of many milestones that he will achieve.
During this time he will also march up to 11 miles as well as run 5 miles. Can my son return home before 12 months? Typically it takes our staff 12 months. (sometimes more) to effect change in your son. You will notice changes immediately after placement because of our disciplined program but these are just external changes. Typically we see lasting change at 12 months. Be encouraged, don't give in prematurely because of the dramatic change you see. Will there be classes for me? Yes, Our parents program is also a 12 month program. You may be required to attend classes in addition to your son. First Phone Call Your son may receive phone calls from you after two weeks in the program. These two weeks may creep by agonizingly slow, or may pass very fast depending on your situation. At any rate, on the first phone call your son will be eager to talk with you. He will want to promise that he has changed and even ask if you will let him come home. He may tell you that he has learned his lesson and that he doesn't need a program to fix him. He may even say "If you really love me you'll come and get me" or "If you won't come get me then don't bother coming to see me. The worst thing that you can do at this point is to give in to his manipulation. You MUST stand firm in your decision. After all, you have already given him hundreds of chances! Treatment Plan In the first few weeks of placement a Treatment Plan will be established with your son. This is a tool by which we measure your son's progress on his presenting problems. As he progresses in the program these goals are achieved and new ones are set as your son progresses to the next stage of the program. |
Will My Son
Hate Me?
No! Your son will not hate you regardless of what he says. He will try his best to manipulate you. Remember, he has been around you for many years, he knows how to pull on your heart strings.
Therapeutic Component In addition to being provided with a highly structured highly disciplined program your teen will also receive daily anger management, behavioral re-direction, conflict resolution, and relationship building skills as well as Life Skills Training.. Visitation Because we are focused on returning your son back to the family within 12 months, we make sure that he realizes the importance of visitation with you. There will be times when your son will not be able to go home for the weekend due to his behavior or un-willingness to comply with rules, however an on or off-ground visit will be scheduled to insure that family relations are strengthened. First Visit When you come to visit your son, (typically after four weeks), you will most likely see a drastic change already. He will be more positive, communicating better with you, and actually being decent about things. Before you fall for the trap to take him home, beware! Don't be fooled. A few weeks does not tear down the walls that he has built up over time. A new solid foundation has not yet been built in your child. Of course, don't be disappointed if you don't see change right away either. Initial changes are surface and are not lasting anyway, so if it takes more time to see the change, simply realize that gradual change is longer lasting.

Physical Readiness Training During the first several weeks of placement, your son will be participating in the Preparatory Phase of PRT. This phase increases general physical strength, endurance and mobility. As this Phase involves exercises your son has never done before, he will experience some soreness as his body changes to meet the demands placed on it. Your son may complain to you about unbearable pain, crying that it's too hard. DON'T BE FOOLED! The Preparatory Phase of PRT is designed by The US Army for people of any physical ability. Slowly increasing the difficulty of the exercises will help your son's body to respond without injury. Your son's health and development will be monitored very closely to further insure that it will be a safe as possible for him. |
