Dear Mr. and Mrs. Patton,

We are delighted to share that your application to enroll Devin Green in REVIVE Teen Rehabilitation Journey has been accepted.

At REVIVE, we believe that any teen’s path can shift with supportive guidance and mentorship based on mutual respect. Your teen might be struggling to find footing in this difficult, rapidly changing global landscape. We believe that separating them from the harm of the modern world is imperative now more than ever. As Aldo Leopold once said of youth in nature, “… wilderness gave them their first taste of those rewards and penalties for wise and foolish acts which every woodsman faces daily, but against which civilization has built a thousand buffers.”

At REVIVE, we believe in shielding your teen from harm, but not discomfort. Your teen will face many situations meant to deeply disquiet them. By bringing your teen back to their baser instincts, we will rebuild their decision-making skills in uncomfortable situations, making your teen stronger and wiser than before. When these fifty days end, we believe you will see a new teen, rebuilt and renewed. Your teen may resist or resent this process at first, but know that we are not here to punish them for the hard hand they’ve been dealt. We thank you for trusting REVIVE with your teen’s health and well-being, and we look forward to the day you reunite. Enclosed, you will find an invoice for your down payment and details of your teen’s individualized plan.

Thank you once more for entrusting us to plant the seeds of Devin’s great journey to the light.

Warmest regards,

The Staff of REVIVE
