[QUOTE="mom_in_training, post: 30309, member: 2727"] Sue, I'm glad you brought that up. You are correct when you say that he can refuse. I tried to get my difficult child into a program that was willing to take her but all it took was for her to say "No Way" I think she was 16 1/2 at the time. They stopped talking and that was that. I was not a happy camper to discover that they give minors the power to just say no and leave it at that. But I also understand that there is no point in trying when you have a difficult child that is not being cooperative. People have to want to change for any treatment to be effective. An unwilling participant would be somebody that is not ready to admit that they have a problem or someone that just absolutely refuses treatment of any kind. [/QUOTE]
