Eagle Ranch Academy’s success with helping troubled teens to both overcome their obstacles and stay on the right path after they have left the program, has a lot to do with their trademarked Life Skills Coaching Program, (found only at ERA).

Believe it or not, the staff at Eagle Ranch has the combined experience of over 100 years. This includes mental health professionals such as clinical psychologists, behavioral psychologists, psychiatrists, and educational psychologists, medical professionals such as general practice doctors and nurses, as well as professionals who deal intimately with the social aspects that govern the lives of troubled teens, such as case managers and case workers. What this means is that when our combined knowledge is applied in a controlled setting such as a residential treatment center over a long period of time, we get to see what strategies actually get through to teens and which ones don’t. Over the years we have refined and enhanced Eagle Ranch Academy’s program with seminars and workshops that address gaps in traditional residential help ...
... center care.

Many other centers think that if a child’s behavior improves while they are in the program, it will stay improved once they complete it. This isn’t true in reality, and many troubled teens relapse to their addictions and disorders.

The problem is that teens who end up in residential programs face hard core problems that will still exist in their home life or social peer group once they get out. In fact, it will probably be a temptation for the rest of their lives. Here at Eagle ranch Academy, we understand that troubled teens don’t need to just “get fixed” but they need to learn how to cope with the circumstances that brought them to a maladaptive behavior in the first place. Alcohol will be available in their environment, so will drugs and food. Unrealistic body stereotypes of beauty will still exist out there in the real world, and their parents will still be divorced when they get home.

Our Life Coaching Skills Program TM takes the rehabilitation program a step farther by teaching troubled teens how to think about their choices. The environment at Eagle Ranch Academy is void of the distractions of their normal life, thus it is the perfect setting to teach troubled teens how to strip away and dig beneath their issues so that they can be honest with themselves about themselves and what path they want to be on. By encouraging self discovery, we give teens the tools they need to continue to make the right decisions long after they graduate our program. They will know who they are, what they want and have the confidence to face the challenges that lie ahead. It makes them feel prepared and in control of their livesâ€something that they lose when their lives spiraled downward.

That is what sets Eagle Ranch Academy apart from other residential teen help program. We care about our troubled teens and we want them to have long lasting, internal change, as well as the real life skills required to face the challenges of adulthood. Our program and our professionals make this their utmost goal for every troubled teen who is enrolled with us.
