[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 335578, member: 3907"] This exactly reflects the situation my family was in when we decided to opt for an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) for our difficult child. He was 17, on a disastrous cocktail of medications, unstable, manic, and having regular run-ins with the law. We put difficult child in an emergency respite program for the summer, and then transitioned him into a permanent Adult Assisted Living program once he turned 18. In the years that difficult child has been in an Residential Treatment Center (RTC), he has grown and developed tremendously. He really is a different person. That said, we have also come to realize that this may be permanent. With difficult child's impairments, he is unlikely to ever be able to live independently. The facility he's in provides as much independence as he can handle, combined with the 24/7 support he needs in order to function. It's such a relief to know that he's safe, happy, and productive.
