Do you have a teenage boy that has traveled down a troubled road? Whether it be behavioral, emotional, or substance abuse related? Fortunately for us, we found Petty Creek Ranch in Montana. This was the day everything changed! I had spent over two years trying to find a residential treatment program that would help my son, as each incident we had with him escalated in severity. From the moment I inquired about Petty Creek Ranch, the communication throughout the entire process was unparalleled. I cannot tell you how many places that I had called with no follow through, and then came Michael Morso, the owner and executive director of Petty Creek Ranch. The passion he shows in his work is evident in the commitment he shows to doing whatever it takes to give every teenage boy the opportunity to change their life in a positive direction. The amount of support that these boys receive is truly remarkable. They receive support in academics, vocational/technical training, intensive family therapy, recovery coaching, in addition to many other treatment interventions like equine-assisted therapy and action-based therapy. For my son specifically, his struggles were/are due to ADHD, addiction, habitually lying and manipulating behaviors. He has now come through the other side consistently being open and honest, which I don't remember seeing since he was 2 years old. With his severe ADHD, we had also tried at least 8 different combinations of medications since 4thgrade before going to Petty Creek Ranch. After trying an innumerable amount of changes during his stay, he was able to come home with the perfect combination. They did in 6 months what I couldn't get figured out in 8 years! I can only hope that others can find the same success, with the dedication and perseverance shown in every area of this program at Petty Creek Ranch, which my family with be eternally grateful for, and will forever be in our hearts! read more
