[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 378631, member: 2423"] Hi angel and welcome. My son is 17 and has been in a residential treatment center in Utah since August 2009. We placed him there because he was severely depressed, academically underachieving, socially withdrawn and therapy resistant. And the public school self-contained program that his IEP had placed him in was not helping him make much progress. Sending him to an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) was the hardest decision we've ever made as parents, but it has been life-changing. He is thriving. He is no longer depressed. He has made friends. He will graduate from high school in December. He has plans for the future. And our relationship with him is the best it's been in years. Although we are cognizant of the fact that relapse is always a possibility, we are happily making plans for him to return home in January. Intensive treatment, in my son's case, has been key to his progress. [/QUOTE]
