We placed our son with CRC's Outback Therapeutic Expeditions in Lehi, UT. I believe it is the most difficult decision I have ever made. After years of therapy, a couple of stays at a crisis center, & plenty of family turmoil, our son was becoming more isolated, more defiant, & doing increasingly worse in school. The professionals at Outback, from the receptionist to the executive director, were all empathetic, extremely courteous, & responsive. Our son's field therapist & field staff were the best!
Our son came through the program much different than when he went in and we continue to work through the process. He is more self aware and developed solid coping skills because of his work with Outback. The only thing we would change would be to have engaged an educational consultant earlier than we did. Other than that, we believe Outback was the right decision for our son.
