[QUOTE="goldenguru, post: 256338, member: 1545"] Hi Doll - There are not very good empirical studies to prove/disprove the effectiveness of Residential Treatment Center (RTC). Our daughter went to one on the other side of the country for 16 months - and to be honest - when she returned home she picked up right where she left off. About the only thing I credit the program for was keeping her alive - she was actively suicidal. My daughter got better when she decided it was time to get better. She had to make up her own mind about the direction of her life. It does no good to second guess our choices as parents. We do the best we know how to do at the time. Take the lessons you've learned and try to implement them now. [/QUOTE]
