Ruben talked with host Lon Woodbury on his show Parent Choices for Struggling Teens about the transition when a child returns home from treatment or any significant out-of-home experience, what parents can expect, and how they can help their child hold on to what they learned. The important central concepts vital to a successful transition back home are for the parents to maintain their authority and to foster full and open communication with their child.
