[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 220737, member: 1550"] Thanks, Roste. That is very interesting. However, I am wondering...what is this supposed to accomplish long-term? in my opinion, and I'm a layman, we pay an awful lot of money for these programs and the children are the same kids when they come back. What is the theory behind this? I personally think it would be better to sink money into an Residential Treatment Center (RTC). Why chose this? You know more about it than me and now you got my curiosity up. It would not have cured my daughter of using drugs for sure. She would have probably gotten even more hostile and down it more when she got home. Is the discomfort supposed to make the kid see that he had it good? Ugh, that wouldn't have worked for my kid either...lol. Also, in the US if you take two weeks off of work, you don't get paid. So most who work could not take off any time to go with their kids. The government is not that involved in our lives and they don't pay us if we don't go to work... [/QUOTE]
