[QUOTE="exhausted, post: 546484, member: 11001"] I'm glad to hear this. When our difficult child went into what they call Observation and Assessment here (to get psychiatric evaluation), it took 45 days. Then we went before the judge again. The O and A people made recommendations and we made recommends that we did with our family counselor to get her treatment in a state Residential Treatment Center (RTC). The stuff out of "O and A" was not inline with what we or our counselor wanted and thought best. Her first placement into day treatment, and living in what was suppose to be a therapuetic foster home, was a disaster. This women drank every day, was not a certified therapuetic home, swore at my daughter, refused her food and phone calls-it was horrible. Judge removed her emediatley after I got no action from DCFS. He placed her in the residential part of the day treatment as we had asked for to begin with. They care-but my experience is that you have to be vigilant. We even had trouble in the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) as they did not comply with my daughters blood work that hadto be done every few months for her thyroid problem, nor did they give her acne medications. There was also an unskilled worker there in her 20's( I call them 20 something bouncers), who decided that my daughter was her project and was very abusive. It took going to the judge to get them to get this worker off my daughters back. Just know that you have to keep your eye out. [/QUOTE]
