[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 276052, member: 1233"] Sunr, You may want to check into grants to help fund the TBS or Residential Treatment Center (RTC) (therapeutic boarding school or residential treatment center). Or maybe to help fund rehab. It truly sounds to me like you need the substance abuse treatment AND mental health treatment. So you may need to ask about dual diagnosis treatments. This means the facility will have both sub abuse treatment and mental health treatment. If he is still in school then usually the school has to pay half of the tuition, or at least the costs for the time he is in school. You may have a fight to get that, but it does happen. You might ask if anyone can PM you info on treatment centers. Some parents use educational consultants to help find the right program for the child. It isn't a cheap service but it may mean going to one center that offers the right things your son needs rather than going to a place close by that doesn't have the right treatments available. I would also suggest testing by a neuropsychologist. They usually do extensive testing, 6 to 10 hours worth (broken up into several appts) and then can pinpoint what the child needs. I hope this info is helpful. You might go to the insurance forum to ask about finding funding for treatment. [/QUOTE]
