Military Schools in South Dakota for Troubled Teens

August 13, 2014 By Leave a Comment

When you have exhausted your energy and ingenuity trying to help your troubled teen, the next step to consider is a full time rehabilitation facility. While you want to select one that is safe, you must also consider whether the curriculum is a good match for your son’s needs. Many parents assume that military schools in South Dakota are the best option because of the proximity to home; however, we have learned that teens improve more when they attend a program in an environment further from home. Some of the reasons for this are:

·         A chance to make a fresh start in new and challenging surroundings where teens are no longer at the mercy of old triggers and negative daily associations.    

·        Families have the opportunity to get some time apart while each party is guided toward better communication skills in order to improve the relationship.    

·         Rehabilitation programs offer respite for parents who need time to recover emotionally, while their son is encouraged and supported by experienced professionals.  

Thousands of parents initially looking at a military school in South Dakota have ultimately selected Liahona Academy to help their sons heal. Located in the picturesque deserts of southern Utah, Liahona Academy has created a name for itself among therapeutic facilities. The widely successful curriculum includes daily therapy, academic assistance and healthy outdoor activities. Each teen gets individual attention from highly trained counselors who work with them to craft a unique plan that targets his specific needs.
