Program Info

With our database of over 400 programs, there are many different types of programs available in a wide range of cost:

  • Acute Care
  • Residential
  • Behavior Modification
  • Faith Based Programs
  • Secure or Non-secure

Program costs vary widely depending on a number of factors. Some programs accept donations while most have monthly fees. Scholarships are available for qualifying families.

At TAPS, we will work with you to determine the best possible placement for your troubled teen or preteen. We will recommend at least three programs for you to evaluate. This service is free to all parents or guardians with children in need.

Due to the generosity of a variety of donors, TAPS has been able to provide full and partial scholarships to over 1,000 families since 1995. Call us to see if you qualify.
