[QUOTE="jbrain, post: 233149, member: 3450"] I am so happy, Shawna! I'm proud of our state at this moment! I've been reading in our papers about the new approach our state will be taking with people who have a dual diagnosis--treating both substance abuse and mental health issues at the same time. You must be so relieved! When my difficult child was in an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) out in Utah they used DBT--she was diagnosed with mood disorder-not otherwise specified with borderline traits. She responded very well to it. Even though she later relapsed I can see that she does use skills she learned there. She no longer flies into a rage, can think in a more logical manner now. She was able to recognize that she often views things in a skewed way and can accept other viewpoints now. AnnMarie, I'm not sure who would pay for it. In our case our dtr was court ordered to treatment back when she was 17 and we had to pay for it though there was a sliding scale. She was receiving survivor benefits from social security at the time and those were used to pay for the treatment. Also, even though she was court ordered to treatment, the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) had no obligation to keep her there. In fact, we had to go get her, she was causing such havoc there once she got her ged. She had decided she was done and refused to cooperate with them. Jane [/QUOTE]
