[QUOTE="Lucedaleblessed, post: 252141, member: 6747"] Dadside. Of course not all programs are bad. As I have stated the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) in our town was a kind of military school before the present firm started to run it. It was tough, but they learned discipline and was a part of the local community. Unfortunately some people needed attention and gave the place a bad press. It is somewhat more shut off from the real world now, but still there are successstories. I don't expect a miracle cure from her wilderness stay. That's why we have this transition plan with my brother. He himself had a rough youth and he lives rather remote. A perfect place to leave her while we etablish new rules to live by. I spoke with a lot of parents who had kids going through the program the present management runs. A mom I spoke with had her son placed up in New York first and then on Jamaica because he resisted the treatment. He returned home aged almost 19 because he faced the streets if he left on his own when he turned 18. The "honey-moon" lasted almost a year before he just left her and started to live on the street. While it doesn't sound like a success story, the parent seminars teached her skills so she became a better parent for the siblings and I guess just the fact the they had experienced a brother being removed by strangers from his own bed during the night told them who did run the home. For me there is no drugs involved as far as it can be tested, but I would like to get a full night of sleep without being afraid of her leaving through the window. [/QUOTE]
