Boarding school for troubled teens

So I just got off the phone after talking for about 4 hours with a very good friend I meet at a boarding school I was sent to when I was in Highschool. I was there for 9 months in utah at a boarding school because I got too out of controll with drugs and was failing all my classes. I ended up liking it towards the end and meet some great people there and learned so much about myself.
Anyone here been through something like that?

When I was 15, I was sent to in-patient rehab for a month and a half for failing too many UA's.. ( i was on probation for possession of drug paraphanaliia).
I was so distraut when I went in, I wouldn't talk to anybody.. I didn't even eat the first couple of days..
Time went on and I started making alot of friends.. everyone was so cool, even the counslers... When I had finally left, I was way more sad leaving than I was going in.

ya where I was at everyone who got sent there had some huge bouncer kind of guys come and get us with no warning at all, so needless to say people were pissed to be there when they first arrive. But after being there 9 months it was like all i really knew and I became really good friends with the people there and kind of didnt want to go at the end.

Without the distractions and temptations of your outside life, you really have alot of time to reflect on everything that's happened.. What led you to where you are, what will lead you to where you're want to be when you get out.. just every little thing you can focus on gets maximum attention..
It's really a life changing experience being away from home no matter the situation.. be it military, boarding school, rehab, jail... When the duration of the leave is over, how you cope with everything, really makes you become who you are afterwards... Either way, never the same again, I don't think.. something inside changes, either for the better or worse.

go to one and I happen to love it. It's helped me deal with a lot and I am so incredibly grateful that I'm still here. Don't make assumptions about something you know nothing about. Trust me.

Good for you. So nice to know that you have changed even you are one of the troubled teens before and now look at you. You should proud of yourself for having a good friend to talk to. By the way, in what boarding school you came from? Is there other boarding schools for problem teenager except the school you are in?
