What We Provide

Over 1200 site visits and extensive experience with a wide variety of therapeutic programs and schools ensures that we have extensive knowledge of the available options. Our knowledge goes deeper than the brochures, videos, and websites typically available to clients and their families. We spend approximately three months a year traveling throughout the country to meet with families and clients, to attend professional conferences, and to assess treatment programs and schools.

We provide a wide range of services assisting parents, families and their loved ones with behavioral health, educational and emotional growth needs, while taking into account a client’s strengths as well as the challenges they are facing.

Residential Treatment Centers

The term Residential Treatment Center has different meanings as there are multiple types of programs that refer to themselves as residential treatment centers. Short-term, intensive treatment programs designed for intervention, evaluation and intensive treatment that have lengths of stay varying from 30-90 days can be an initial first step for a client preparing to step down along a continuum of care.

Long-term residential treatment centers have an average length of stay between 6-12 months. These programs provide ongoing intensive individual, group and family therapy while incorporating accredited academics when appropriate for educational needs. While this term can be intimidating for parents and families, adolescent residential treatment centers should be considered a smaller and more individualized therapeutic boarding school.

Therapeutic Boarding Schools

Therapeutic boarding schools can provide a more typical high school experience while providing a range of therapeutic services to support your child’s emotional growth needs. These schools blend academics, recreation and therapeutics to provide a well-rounded experience during the middle and high school years. While most therapeutic boarding schools do not participate in state sanctioned high school athletics, many participate in intramural sports as well as a variety of individual athletic activities.

Outdoor Therapeutic Experiences

Outdoor therapeutic programs provide an alternative to short-term residential treatment programs. They provide clinical assessment and intervention while putting clients in an environment that will boost self-esteem and ego strength while addressing mental health needs. At their heart, therapeutic outdoor programs are dedicated to building clients through empowerment, accountability, and insight-oriented, therapeutic experiences. They are among the most popular interventions of families due to the substantial amount of information gathered during this experience and the significant growth of their loved ones who were previously stuck in unhealthy patterns.

Intensive In-home Services

For families in the St. Louis region, we have created an alternative for families who have found little relief from traditional therapies or are considering out of home placement. The approach is an intensive, short-term, home-based therapeutic model that targets the specific challenges of individual families in the context of their home, school, and community. Treatment providers are master’s level clinicians who are trained in evidence-based, in-home models. Home Remedy's ultimate goal of family preservation services is to maintain children with their families, or to successfully reunify them after an out of home placement in a hospital setting, therapeutic wilderness program, residential treatment center or therapeutic boarding school. www.homeremedystlouis.com

Traditional Boarding Schools

Over the past 23 years, we have identified a great number of traditional boarding schools that provide a more individualized boarding school experience in a unique environment for students who have struggled in traditional public or private school settings. We have established tried and proven criteria that we use in determining which traditional boarding schools we recommend for our clients. Additionally, we partner with the most experienced and knowledgeable consultants specializing in traditional boarding schools placements to ensure that no school is overlooked in your child’s search.

College Placement

College placement work is a very specialized niche. A reputable college placement specialist is going to have at least 15 years of experience and school tours. Again, we partner with experts who have made college consulting their life’s work. Their knowledge, experience, and expertise is unique even in their industry. We make sure each student is matched with a consultant that is ideally suited for their process.
