[QUOTE="SunnyFlorida, post: 30580, member: 696"] Mikey, I think your post would generate alot of comments in General, but your issues are on this board and in Teens/SA. In General...they are not there yet. Just MHO. [img]:blush:[/img] Finding a Residential Treatment Center (RTC) was what pushed me to find this wonderful board. difficult child 2 had stolen from us and I pressed charges. I THOUGHT/PLANNED that difficult child would go to some program through our state Department of Juvenile Justice. Little did I know that difficult child wasn't bad enough and didn't earn enough points so he didn't go anywhere. difficult child 2 was 15 and husband and I were not going to spend our savings trying to treat someone who had no intention of saving himself. We felt that we could help after he turned himself around. That has proved today a good choice as he is 19 and in school. We'll see though as the jury is still out. difficult child 1 however has addiction and mental health issues. We've tried IOP intensive outpatient programs x2 and unless difficult child is willing to buy into the whole thing...it's a waste of time and copays. Our insurance wouldn't cover a 28day program for pot. Alcohol yes, prescription drugs yes...but not pot. To them and many it's a psychological addiction and not physical enough to warrant medical intervention. (basically alcohol causes DT's which has a medical component as does Rx drugs). There are websites that show all the programs that are licensed for your state. At his age, he does have a choice as to whether he'll attend and do the program. Let's hope that difficult child's actions don't create the type of crisis that makes it become either treatment or jail. [/QUOTE]
