Celebrating 6 months! My son and I are celebrating 6 months clean this week. We never thought it would be possible. The teen center worked with both of us to improve our relationship and fight his addiction together as a team.

How ignite ruined my life So I was at ignite for about 2 years, the hell I went through is indescribable. I'm a pretty regular guy but my parents sent me because they were getting divorced and didn't know how to deal with an angry 15 year old. But of course ignite doesn't care because they are only around for the money. They treated me like a criminal I couldn't even use the bathroom with the door closed. I work in a grocery store behind the counter getting minimum wage because I couldn't learn the life skills I need to get a good job. My life is completely ruined and its all thanks to the wonderful staff at ignite(who are random teens that they picked up from the streets). There's not much I could do at this point but I don't want what happened to me happen to others.

We looked at a lot of facilities for … We looked at a lot of facilities for our son. What made us choose Teen Treatment Center was how secure we felt the center was. There's a lot of work to do still, but I think we're on the right path. Treatment isn't cheap (at least it wasn't for us) but it may be depending on insurance.

Thank you for helping my family! -

Not much patience on staff part, just expulsion We have had our son in the program and were very much reassured by everyone who called to solicit him into to the program how wonderful it was but then in the space of one day we were given the option of transferring him[48hrs] or picking him up in 24 hours. He did go AWOL which is bad and should be dealt with strongly but everything was over. Even after we were told that such acts don't usually necessarily merit expulsion. A place of this nature should be able to deal with such behavior for a first time offense. We could not even talk to him about what reason he had to do it[I don't think there is a good reason]. The team decided he's out. I really understand some people should be expelled but a warning to the parents of trouble should proceed immediate expulsion. So what does a parent do when they are over a thousand miles away and have 24 hours to get your son? I am very, very disappointed with how they handled this and wouldn't want another parent to go into this without warning what may happen in the space of a couple of hours literally.
