[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 191995, member: 3626"] It depends on the Residential Treatment Center (RTC). Some are just halfway houses and pretty useless. The good ones really work with the kids and parents. They have staff therapists. Psychiatrists visit at least weekly. I found that EGBS (emotional growth boarding schools) really worked more with the kids than the RTCs from what I could see. If medications are involved, I think an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) is probably a better fit. For pure behavorial issues, an EGBS. It really is a hard choice. I think the best you can do is research where you want your child to go. Talk to parents of kids who are there, who have graduated and who pulled their kids out for whatever reason. The good ones will happily give you names of each. Visit the campus alone and with your child if possible. The kids will be more open to your child about what goes on than they will to you. Good luck on findng a good one. It's a very daunting task. [/QUOTE]
