[QUOTE="klmno, post: 279154, member: 3699"] I had another thought on this. You need to check with others in your state, but here's what I found in mine- I had always wanted difficult child in a private psychiatric hospital, meaning I was using private insurance to cover it. When the detention center determined that he needed to be in a psychiatric hospital, they were required to send him to the state psychiatric hospital. The state psychiatric hospital can keep the kid longer and they have a little more pull with getting local assistance sometimes (although not in our case). My point is that you might want to consider the state psychiatric hospital- they don't discharge a kid when the insurance amount of time or money is up. Also, private phosps here don't have schools so if the kid stays in longer than 10 days, it requires a change in placement. Our state psychiatric hospital had a school so this was no big deal- it did not require a homebound teacher going to a psychiatric hospital. Believe it or not, these things play into how long a kid stays in a psychiatric hospital sometimes because they don't like dealing with angry schools and insurance companies refusing to pay. Unfortunately, all our state phosps for children/adolescents are closing. [/QUOTE]
