I've been watching with great interest since I worked on adolescent psych units for many years. I think the wilderness programs can be great for some kids, although I know some kids whose parents sent them to such programs and it did no good at all.
I agree with DZHBrown 100%.
This is more than tough love and discipline. There is also compassion when necessary, empathy when necessary, and highly trained staff to deal with different situations and temperaments. It's also breaking down who they are and rebuilding them in a more healthy way.
