So finally got my daughter to look at a residential facility with us and the case manager. Of course hated it. didn't want the therapy part and minimum stay is 6 months. Therapist that spoke with is has been there 15 yrs. I liked her. This is her last and only option since she refuses medications and outpatient therapy. Also didn't lkue any alternative schools we saw. She is stuck and doesn't get what she is doing to herself. So basically either a court order or putting her in hospital first and then transferring her are only 2 options to get her there. I'm told can't get court order unless has a felony charge. She has no charges against her. Just depressed and angry. Causing a lot of stress in house. She did say would go if mom went to a hospital as well. Mom and her don't get along well. Mom will be getting her own therapy but as outpt.
Mom also has a head injury which affects her emotions too. Daughter can't seem to understand this. Just see mom yells and curses and stuff and she doesn't get punished so why do I get punished. Kid is 16. Th facility itself has a school and an adolescent in patient hospital in case they harm self. They take trips and do therapy both group and individual. This is a hard decision but can't afford out of state schoos like some educational consultans want.
