Project Patch

You Are Not Alone

Project PATCH Residential Treatment Program has assisted hundreds of
parents of troubled youth, with outstanding results. 

Here is a Behavioral Survey to help you decide what 
resources would best help your teenager.

Parents in a Boise State University study rated significant improvement for every desirable behavior after their child completed the PATCH program.

• Rebelliousness
• Oppositional Defiance
• Authority Issues
• Anger Control Problems
• Low Self-Esteem
• Poor Decision Making Skills

• Thinking Errors*
• Poor Peer Choices
• ADHD
• Petty Theft or Shoplifting
• Minor Runaway

 *such as blaming, rationalization to manipulate those around them to avoid taking responsibility for their actions

The Project PATCH Treatment Program is not appropriate for teens who are:

• Addicted to drugs or alcohol (PATCH refers to a 21-day program such as Freer Wilderness Trek 541.926.7252; after treatment, they may be candidates for PATCH)
• Actively suicidal
• Severe runaway risks (PATCH Ranch is not a secured facility)
• Experiencing compounding mental health issues (psychotic, personality disorders, manic-depressive or unstable bi-polar)
• Sex offenders (PATCH may be able to take a child who has been a victim of sexual crime)
• Fire starters
• Experiencing severe eating disorders
• Pregnant

If your child has one or more of these problems, please see our Resources page for other options.
