Why traditional boot camps may not solve your teen’s problems
Summer camps for troubled youth that use a military-style approach to instill obedience might seem like a good way to fix your teen’s behavior problems. But they are often ineffective or even counterproductive in the long term. Here are a few reasons why:
- A focus on obedience over recovery: Teen boot camp programs can be too harsh, especially for teens with serious mental health challenges, prompting worsening symptoms or relapses.
- Neglect of emotional well-being: Not designed to assess or address psychological histories and needs, these camps fail to improve teens’ emotional intelligence and self-regulation.
- Temporary effects: Because these programs fail to treat holistically, any behavioral improvements are often short-lived.
- One-size-fits-all treatment: Staff at teen boot camps often lack the expertise and resources to individualize their approach.
- Superficial focus: Failing to explore the underlying causes of a teen’s problematic behavior, boot camp methods typically act as a mere bandage.

Teen residential treatment at Avery’s House: An alternative to summer programs for troubled teens
If you’re an Eagle parent looking for a program that will facilitate self-discipline while providing mental health treatment for your teen, you’ve come to the right place! The teen residential treatment program at Avery’s House, which is conveniently located in Boise, encourages healthy habits, emotional growth, and long-term mental health. The following are a few key aspects of our program:
Resilient Recovery
- In our supportive environment, teens can focus on recovery, strengthening resilience, and learning self-reliance.
Nurturing Environment
- Our facility offers cozy rooms, healthy foods, and a well-planned schedule that supports teen recovery and growth.
Personalized Treatment
- Typically a 28-day program, our treatment is personalized based on each teen’s needs, strengths, goals, and progress.
Avery’s House: Better than harsh discipline
Understanding that harsh discipline neglects mental well-being and can increase defiance and resentment in teens, our specialized therapists offer a more practical and comprehensive approach that achieves the following.
- Recognition of root causes: Our therapy uncovers and addresses underlying issues, such as anxiety or trauma, that drive problematic behavior.
- Improved communication: Our program fosters better communication and trust between teens and their parents, developing deeper and more meaningful family connections.
- Emotional management: We teach teens practical methods for regulating their emotions and handling stress, reducing the likelihood of inappropriate behavioral responses.
- Lasting change: Unlike externally imposed discipline, therapy equips teens with the skills and habits they need for long-term success and continued growth.
At our teen residential treatment center, we provide specialized therapy that helps teens overcome behavioral challenges and build a foundation for lasting positive change.
