The term "military school" is often used to describe a school where a parent sends a troubled teen for structure. While these schools do provide structure (military style), they usually provide no help in changing behavior disorders and other problems. We at Teenrecovery.com do not feel that military schools provide the necessary after-care that is needed to make a permanent change in a troubled teen's life. We promote alternatives to military schools.
