Question by Caryl: Do you know any books about teenagers going through rehab programs?
My brother is looking to read books (fiction or non-fiction) about teens going through rehab programs. This can be for behavioral problems, drug programs, anything really. He’s also looking to read books about teens in juvenile hall or in jail. If you could tell me any titles along with the author, it would be greatly appreciated.

It’s not “rehab” exactly but it’s about a teen boy who goes to a mental hospital ward to deal with his depression/anxiety problems. Maybe your brother would like it?
