[QUOTE="jbrain, post: 237904, member: 3450"] I'm not sure what the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) could have done to help with the transition--it didn't work for us. She went from a lockdown facility with total control over her environment to home and it just didn't work. She needed all that structure and she missed her therapist there (he was wonderful) and the other girls. I think she was depressed--she really liked it there even though she would complain about it. I think also that they let her out too early, she wasn't really strong enough in her new behaviors and thinking processes to use them at home. We had an educational consultant who found the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) for us and he pretty much flat out told us that she needed a stepdown boarding school after the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) but we couldn't afford it. On a brighter note, she does use the tools she was given at the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) now so it did seem to have a positive effect, but it was sure delayed! Good luck! Jane [/QUOTE]
