About Us
We’re Here to Help Parents…FREE!
We’re a free service that comes alongside parents to help them find the best program or school for a troubled teenager.
Finding the right therapeutic school can be a very difficult search. Best Choice simplifies the search by narrowing down the best options based on the child’s needs and the family’s budget. Once we know what issues need to be addressed and what you want to keep the cost within, we can make some appropriate suggestions.
Rather than choosing a program for you, we offer a list of the best options based on your child’s situation, location, and budget. We charge you nothing, nor will our assistance cause the rates of any schools to be any higher. We are the largest such free service in the nation.
We visit and work with hundreds of residential programs and get feedback from parents of students we have already placed there. Our goal is to help the parent find the absolute best choice for their child.
We have comprehensive knowledge of options for troubled teens, helping families with a child who is experiencing academic failure, is exhibiting inappropriate behaviors, has emotional issues or substance abuse problems, or many other difficulties that may impact their future.
We Visit and Evaluate Programs, and Get Feedback
We spend a great deal of our time on the road visiting and evaluating a wide variety of programs. Only by conducting such site visits and getting reports from parents who have sent a child there can we get a good understanding of the strengths, options, and expertise of each school.
What works for one child may not be appropriate for another. Each student and their family’s situation and finances are different. Teaching styles, religious affiliation, specialized therapeutic services, personnel, and the role of arts or athletics in the program are all elements that define each school.
Getting it right can make the difference between a failed experience and a tremendously fulfilling and life-changing one for the student. In that quest, we help parents narrow down their options.

“You have been a blessing for us, I just got your number randomly from an article online. I was lost and didn’t know where to start, you helped pave my way and hopefully, things will work out for Amina and therefore for all of us.”

“Just a note again to say how much I appreciated your assistance. My daughter was accepted at one of the programs you mentioned, and she started her program on Monday of this week. I am so impressed by the program. My daughter is settling in. She is a bit homesick, but I have confidence that she will make significant strides in her recovery.”
