One Size Does Not Fit All
As the diversity of our industry continues to grow, the multiplicity of types of programs, philosophies, and internal structure that programs and their staff provide to families and their children can be overwhelming for those in search of assistance. There is no "one size fits all" solution for every family, and the road map to competence is unique for each treatment center.
