Group Homes in Philadelphia, PA

Restore Troubled Teens - Sad adolescent struggling with drug addiction at remedial treatment facilityRestore Troubled Teens is an organization of professional family advocates, uniting parents of troubled teens from Philadelphia, PA with the best therapeutic programs. Are you wondering if a Group Home is the best option for your struggling teen? Many parents are unaware that Group Homes for Teens are the most basic program where students get minimal attention and care, especially in “state run” group homes.

These programs are sparsely staffed and while often partially funded for families, they are a poor substitute for actual mental and physical care. At Restore Troubled Teens, we know about the best Residential Treatment Centers and will work with each family to find the best one for you.

Residential Treatment Centers, where the child will receive individualized care, are a much better option. They provide group and individual therapy, and drug rehabilitation. Treatment centers also offer a full-fledged education, intent on getting your child back on track scholastically and ready for higher education. They have around-the-clock supervision and provide a caring, home-like atmosphere that is blatantly missing from group home setting.

When parents consider the expense of a Group Home versus a Residential Treatment Program, they might hesitate at the difference. The stark reality is that if the teen does not receive proper and lasting treatment, further costs will ensue as they enter the juvenile justice system in any capacity. It is a far better thing to prevent the larger issues as opposed to paying for them, then having to pay for treatment.

Parents often hear of “half-way” homes in connection with helping troubled teens, but these are also often state-funded, like group homes, and will only provide a temporary solution to a very long-term program. Residential treatment programs offer the substance abuse treatment in addition to their other excellent services, such as therapy and education.

Why do residential treatment programs for troubled boys and girls work? The answer is simple. When a group home is staffed with professional clinical people (therapists, psychologists, social workers, substance abuse counselors, Special Ed teachers, etc.) they become the top therapeutic option out of all the best available options.
