What Parents And Their Teens Told Researchers
Upon admission, teens were experiencing various psychological and social challenges including:
- Disruptive behavior disorders
- Substance abuse
- Mood disorders
- Learning disorders
- Eating disorders
- Personality disorders
- Anxiety
- Trauma
Why This May Be Important To You
After enrollment, participation and completion of an Aspen program, there was dramatic improvement on all measures of psychological and social issues. In fact, 97% of parents reported that their teens' overall symptoms relating to these issues were reduced. These results indicate that the majority of adolescents change in positive, meaningful and reliable ways during private residential treatment at Aspen's programs.
