[QUOTE="Rotsne, post: 221944, member: 6326"] 12,000 is very much for a Residential Treatment Center (RTC). To justify that amount we are talking 24/7 hospital and one of the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) I have heard off in that price level located in Tenneessee are for murders and people who have made bombs threats. Is her condition that bad? What if you called the local authorities and asked them for permission to tour one of the local group homes with her as a kind of "scared straight"? Wouldn't that do the trick. Here our continuation schools have a "open day" where everyone interested can drop in and see what the youth miss out. A neighbor took his daughter to such a place where they start the day with singing psalms and prayers. It cured her instantly. When I researched Idaho a year back I found a place in Idaho for girls only where they all wear overalls, attend church and the internet is barely invented. Therapy dont seem to be prioritized, but the girls are kept out of harms way until they either become church attached or simply grows out of their teenage ways. It is only half the price. I am sure that they would say yes to a visit by you and your daughter. Just because you visit the place you don't have to drop her off. When you return home, just have the admission papers hang ready openly but unsigned and undated. That should keep her in line. If you really want to scare her straight and you seem to be willing to pay a lot for it, then hire a transport firm to have her transported almost to the gates of the facility and then walk the rest of the way for the visit with her telling her that the next time it would for real. Of course You could just print out the contract for the transport firm and leave it for her to be found by accident. In our home we believe in speaking about things openly and reveal all options and put them on the table in advance. Show her the brochures, include her in the research and tell her that you love her but you are paying the rent so your rules goes. If she wants to move out the day she turns 18, you wont stand in the way for her to get a job beside school and create a savings account. You could also include her in the process of how huge bills are, so she knows how many money it takes to be on her own. We can not hide reallity for our kids. They need to be shown that life can be hard also once "they are free" of us controlling them. I pray for you to reach a solution for you and your daughter to be able to solve the problems within the walls of your home. [/QUOTE]
