Find the program that is right for you

Homeward Bound offers a menu of aftercare solutions that are affordably priced. Each level of care is customized in its intensity to meet your family’s unique needs. The length, cost and basic overview of each program is provided. In addition, the “Family Fit” column is intended to provide you with an idea for which program might be right for your family.

We encourage you to allow us to work with you, your educational consultant, and your teen’s program therapist to help you identify the program that is right for you.

To ensure availability and to help you get matched with a specialist that is best for your teen and family, we suggest you arrange for our services at well in advance of your teen’s discharge/graduation. This also allows your Homeward Bound specialist to begin working with your consultant, program therapist and your family to effectively lay the foundation for a successful transition home.
