California Parents using Therapeutic Boarding Schools in Utah

California parents are using therapeutic boarding schools in Utah to save their child from their own self-destructive behaviors. Parents from California who are struggling with a defiant troubled teen have some tough decisions to make. The decision is, “can we continue to deal with this outrageous behavior? Can we continue to go down this road? The family is upside down and our entire lives are disrupted. We can’t just let him (or her) go do as they please, they could end up ruining their life.” When a troubled teen from California has come to the place where they will no longer follow even the most simple directions, when they are completely out of control, dropped out of school, using drugs and alcohol, running the streets, having sex without protection, engaging in criminal activity, defying all authority…” What can a parent from California do to intervene in the life of the troubled teen? Abundant Life Preparatory, a Christian therapeutic boarding school has been restoring troubled teens and their families for 10 years. Call Abundant Life Preparatory at 800-94809066.

California parents of troubled teens have no other choice but to seek outside help. Many parents are upset, distraught, humiliated, and at the end of their rope. Especially troublesome are the California parents with younger siblings in the home. Big brother or big sister has turned the family upside down and the parents are caught in between attempting to help the troubled teen and protect his or her younger siblings. California parents often begin with professional help at home. California parents of troubled teens seek help from school guidance counselors, Christian counselors, therapists, substance abuse counselors, and other behavioral health professionals. Unfortunately, therapy only works when the troubled teen is seeking help. Other wise, it’s an exercise in futility. Many parents from California will find that the therapist or counselor will collude with the troubled teen and together blame the parent. At this point parents from California have turned to Abundant Life Preparatory, a premier Christian boarding school focused on family restoration, academic repair, and therapeutic intervention.  Craig Rogers, co-founder of Abundant Life Preparatory teaches a leadership training to a group of teens.


When the troubled teenager has engaged in gang affiliation, profound substance abuse, sexually promiscuity, and host of other dangerous and illegal behaviors the best choice the parent has is to seek the help of a therapeutic boarding school. The issue is the danger and the permanent outcomes of the dangerous behavior. Parents often have no other choice but to seek out-of-home remedies. The parents who do not take a radical stance and continue to allow the downward spiral will seek their troubled teenager eventually come to a sad conclusion through the criminal courts and worse. Parents can intervene and stop the spiral downward by enrolling their child into Abundant Life Preparatory – restore families, futures, and destiny.

Boarding schools for troubled teens in California are not available. The laws of California prevent a therapeutic boarding school from operating. Parents of California troubled teens are forced to go outside the State. Many of the best programs for troubled teens are found in Utah. The State of Utah upholds parental rights, and therefore the California troubled teen while in a Utah boarding school is under the laws of Utah. These laws protect both the troubled teen and his/her parents. In California parents have been stripped of their parental rights, and therefore they have lost all options of saving their teen when the troubled child has gone beyond the point of return. For immediately help and to begin the restoration programs contact Abundant Life Preparatory, 800-948-9066.
