Teen Challenge for Girls in Nevada

Teen Challenge programs for girls like Columbus Girls Academy (Alabama) can provide an affordable safe haven and school for young women in Nevada and from around the country. It works with teens who have sought to fill a void in their lives through negative peer influences, self-destructive habits, or risky activities.

After exhausting every option in their quest to help their daughter, families in Nevada often seek out the Teen Challenge Columbus Girls Academy. They have usually tried counseling, medication, relocation, mental health approaches, and social service interventions, and getting nowhere. Some have been told by loved ones that it would be best for their girl to get away from home for awhile and from negative influences and peers. That is when they seek the help of a therapeutic boarding school, like the Teen Challenge’s Columbus Girls Academy.

The usual girl who is enrolled from Nevada at the Teen Challenge Girl’s Academy in Alabama was once moving toward a bright future; however, because of poor choices or an uncaring attitude, her life may end up far different from what everyone hoped for. Where there was once excelling grades, there are failing grades. Where there were once athletic, artistic or musical abilities, there is disdain for what she held dear. The teenage girl who once sought her parents’ direction, love, approval and acceptance, now looks to her peers to fulfill those needs; she is willing to follow them down a negative path in life.

Girls from Nevada who enroll in our Teen Challenge for Girls program generally demonstrate attitudes and actions such as when they arrive:

Low self-esteem
Rebellion/Anger/Defiance
Self Injurious Behaviors or Thoughts
Deceitfulness/Cheating/Theft
Manipulation of family and parents
Promiscuity/Gender confusion
Self-Hatred

Many times, prior to selecting CGA, families in Nevada have gotten help from psychiatry and the prescription of medication. While such medications can help reduce the symptoms of deeper issues, we have found great success in weening girls off of them once and for all. All but the most severe psychological issues are generally triggered by underlying emotional issues, which must be dealt with having a clear mind. Psychotropic drugs are eliminated over time with the care of our physician and the prescribing psychiatrist.

Teen Challenge for Girls May Be the Right Answer

Many times, teens have been spared or delayed the heartache of the full-blown consequences for their poor decisions; sometimes by well-intending parents. For these reasons, adolescents are not always confident of the need for change in their lives. However, the parent is certain of the need for intervention, because their girl is obviously headed for lifelong trouble if such actions persist. The Teen Challenge Columbus Girls Academy is an intervention program, hopefully intervening in troubled adolescents’ lives before they become an adult habitually demonstrating a dysfunctional lifestyle.

Becomes a good influence on her peers

More about Teen Challenge for girls:

Nevada is a state in the western, mountain west, and southwestern regions of the United States. Nevada is the 7th most extensive, the 35th most populous, and the 9th least densely populated of the 50 United States. It is the most extensive U.S. state that does not border Canada, Mexico, or an ocean. Over two-thirds of Nevada’s people live in the Las Vegas metropolitan area, which contains its three largest incorporated cities. Nevada’s capital is Carson City.
Nevada is largely desert and semiarid, with much of it located within the Great Basin. Areas south of the Great Basin are located within the Mojave Desert, while Lake Tahoe and the Sierra Nevada mountains lie on the western edge. Approximately 86% of the state’s land is owned by the US government under various jurisdictions, both civilian and military.
The name Nevada is derived from the nearby Sierra Nevada mountains, which means “snow-capped mountain range” in Spanish. The land comprising the modern state was inhabited by Native Americans of the Paiute, Shoshone, and Washoe tribes prior to European contact. It was subsequently claimed by Spain as a part of Alta California until the Mexican War of Independence brought it under Mexican control. The United States gained the territory in 1848 following its victory in the Mexican-American War and the area was eventually incorporated as part of Utah Territory in 1850. The discovery of silver at the Comstock Lode in 1859 led to a population boom that was an impetus to the creation of Nevada Territory out of western Utah Territory in 1861. Nevada became the 36th state on October 31, 1864.
The establishment of legalized gambling and lenient marriage and divorce proceedings in the 20th century transformed Nevada into a major tourist destination. The tourism industry remains Nevada’s largest employer, with mining continuing to be a substantial sector of the economy as Nevada is the fourth largest producer of gold in the world.
Nevada is officially known as the “Silver State” due to the importance of silver to its history and economy. It is also known as the “Battle Born State” because it achieved statehood during the Civil War and the “Sagebrush State” for the native eponymous plant.
