9、d all of their options, and sometimes they are on the verge of giving up. But there is hope. Schools for troubled teens offer discipline and in some cases, drug treatment programs that can provide important life skills, and more importantly, a fresh start. The following is a list of the most effecti
10、ve types of schools for troubled teens.

Treatment Centers When a teenager has an addiction to drugs or alcohol, a residential center that specializes in yo
12、ung people is an outstanding way to help them break the cycle of addiction. Treatment centers feature individual and group counseling to help identify the root causes of the drug problem and help develop the life skills needed to stay clean when the program is over. Wilderness Programs Designed to h
13、elp improve the discipline and self-reliance of the child, wilderness programs send kids back to nature.

Want to fix a broadband internet connection? Do it yourself. Need a boarding card for your flight? Do it yourself. In theory, companies
28、 can save money by replacing human workers with automated self-service systems, while customers gain more choices and control and get quicker service. There is even talk of self-service doing for the service department what mass production did for factories, by enabling the delivery of services chea

But if every bank were to prefer self-service systems, customers would no longer be able to express their discount by voting with their feet. As a re
31、sult, some banks, for example, already promise that their telephone- banking services always offer the choice of talking to a human operator. But in return for human service, many companies will simply charge more. Another disagreement to self-service is that while it saves companies money, it does
32、not always save their queuing or making a phone call. But as more and more tasks are on to customers, they may start to hope for the days of old-fashioned service. All of this suggests that there are limits to how far self-service can be taken. Companies that go too far down the self-service route o
