[QUOTE="horserider, post: 311269, member: 8054"] When you say, "get the appointment sooner", do you mean with the dr.? If so I would call the new dr. back and ask if she can "squeeze" you in. The jjc would be a real I opener for her I'm sure, but in my humble opinion I would go the therapy route if possible. The thing we have learned about dealing with- the court system instead of Residential Treatment Center (RTC), etc is they basically have your difficult child's life in their hands. The program they have our difficult child in is not the one I would have choosen, he is to ill. I tried to have him moved but that was a battle I lost. Another problem with the jjc, with the daily charge we will be paying for this the rest of our life. We did have in home therapy, through our Community Mental Health for a year that worked out pretty good, until they could not extend anymore time. The therapist and casemanager each came out once a week. It was helpful to set bounderies and have someone "checking in". An option you may want to look into with your CMH. Our ins. would not pay for this. Will your ins. pay for weekly therapy with- the dr? Once or twice a month is usually not enough for BiPolar (BP) children that have issues going on. I agree you have to get things in motion now because of her age. Our son will be 18 in 14 months also. Times running out. My difficult child wrote me a letter saying ..."you can tell kids it is hard in the jjc, you don't want to end up there, but you have no idea how bad it really is until you live here." It was our absolute last straw with- him to let the police take him, instead of residential this time. Hugs and Take care, let us know what happens [/QUOTE]
