We’ve personally been down this road 4 separate times with one of our kids. It never gets easier. How do you make it through the devastation of placing your child in residential treatment?

In today’s episode of Honestly Speaking, our co-host Nicole Goerges turns the microphone on us, and interviews us over this topic because we’ve walked this road several times in the past. It never gets easy, even when the absence of your child creates peace for the rest of your family.

The biggest question we get on this topic is, “How will I ever get through this challenging season of life with my child?” Believe it or not, it’s not the end of the road for you, or your child. In today’s episode, we share a new perspective that can help you find hope, even in the hopelessness of placing your child in residential treatment!

Resources And Links.

Here are a few recommended resources when it comes to the topic of residential treatment…

• Ozark Teen Challenge: we can’t recommend this organization enough. It was a valuable resource for us when our son needed structure and discipline. (**Note- each Teen Challenge facility is a separate entity. Only the namesake is streamlined).
• Intermountain: This is a residential treatment program that centers around building healthy family relationships (**Note- we have not personally used this program, but we know several people who have).
• Acadia Montana: This is a proven program for teens struggling through trauma, post-traumatic stress, or depression. (**Note- we have not personally used this program, and do not know anyone, personally, who has).
