Higher Ground is a Canadian television show, aired in 2000, whose main theme is a treatment of adolescents at a reform camp in the mountains and woods of Pacific Northwest.
The show lasted only one season and deals with issues like drug, sexual and verbal abuse, self-mutilation, eating disorder, neglect, and suicidal attempts.
Among the kids were Scott (Drug abuse after beign sexually abused by his young stepmother), Shelby (Ran away from home after being sexually and physically absued by7 ehr father, wound up prostituting herself), Juliette (Bulimic and self mutilation), Ezra (Drugs, suicidal), and Daisy (She was emotionally abused and when ti threatened to turn physical, she attacked her dad with a golf club)...
The main teacher, Peter, was a former drug addict who got clean and took the job at the school to help kid spull up from their own rock bottoms, they way he had to as an adult...
The WikiPage I linked to above gives better info on the show... but I can see how I could work The OC characters into it (Ryan for his criminal activities, Marissa for drugs/eating disorder, Seth for Drugs...) or make it another crossover with OTH (Nathan had some problems with taking some drugs and drinking... in the first two seasons...) it could be good...
