[QUOTE="klmno, post: 404139, member: 3699"] DF, be careful with this. I don't know what state you are in or how they appropriater their funding, much less who in your state is authorized to sign the paper for Residential Treatment Center (RTC) placement (meaning which agencies are allowed to recommend it) but if you know my son's hx- which I realize is lengthy- my push for Residential Treatment Center (RTC) helped land him in Department of Juvenile Justice. The people in agencies here said the only way to get him help was to keep involving police and courts. I did that. Juvemile courts' people here believe (honestly, they said this outright) that Department of Juvenile Justice is the same thing as Residential Treatment Center (RTC) because it's a secure, structuredd, out-of-home placement. With so many jurisdictions hurting for money, it's almost impossible for any child with a bio-parent or guardian, who's not been turned over to dss and then deemed uncontrollable by dss, to get funding spent on Residential Treatment Center (RTC).
