My sisters daughter went there and did a complete 180. She was a hellion even when she was young, and when she turned 14 they couldn't take it any more so they sent her to Diamond Ranch Academy. I don't know all the details, and I don't remember how long she was there exactly, but she is a much different kid now (she's 16 now).
My sister says they still have some issues here and there (what teen doesn't?), but overall she says her daughter is much more respectful and has come miles in her ability to communicate when she's frustrated, and takes more responsibility for her own problems.
I didn't really participate in all the problems or even a whole lot of her treatment, but I think that if it ever came to something like that with my own kids, Diamond Ranch Academy would probably be the first place I'd try.
