Navigating Reactive Attachment Disorder in Teens
A Tailored Approach at Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch
If your teen is contending with Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD), an uncommon yet significant challenge in forming healthy emotional bonds, Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch provides a specialized and effective treatment plan tailored for adolescents.
RAD often arises when consistent emotional and physical care, crucial for healthy bonding, is lacking during formative years, possibly due to experiences like transient foster care or adoption. There are two distinct types of RAD, one marked by inappropriate affection towards strangers and the other characterized by introversion, withdrawal, emotional aloofness, and inhibition.
