Just want you to know that the juvenile justice/juvenile probation department in my county does not recommend Thunder Road and refers no juveniles there. As an example of why they dont, the director of juvenile probation told me that the administration of Thunder Road removed a young man from their facility, transported him to our county, then dumped him in the directors office, saying Hes your problem now. The director had no idea this kid was coming to him. My experience with this place was similarly negative. I hope this place has gotten better over the years.

$50 million in public money wasted each year. BACS senior management team is exceptionally underqualified and woefully inexperienced.The cause is good but the current management team and the business model is fine but current senior management is not qualified and should be replaced asap by authentic qualified professionals. Current senior management is not qualified to run a tree house. A crying shame.

Professionally skilled councilors provide support for a trip to sobriety for teens here. Their programs teach behavioral options for clients and their families to use. The glaring deficiency is simply of manpower. How long these professionals can continue to provide their much needed therapy under these conditions is not known. They work on the front lines of our societal struggle with drugs, broken family relations and poor education. The clients know this. The clients here are learning to making choices and receive consequences for their choices that will give them a chance to always see options for behavior and support increasing social skills. I wish they had pets at this facility and a choral group.

This place is a brainwashing facility/ juvenile hall. Do not send your kids here.
