[QUOTE="klmno, post: 409290, member: 3699"] You would thunk the RM would have already known this kind of stuff, huh? This is sounding more and more like the circles I went thru with people when I was trying to get my son help before he pulled a knife on me and ended up in Department of Juvenile Justice. I don't know about your state, but if it's similar to mine- you half a tiny bit of hope, maybe. Let me tell you how it worked for us- any psychiatric hospital difficult child had been in was private and being paid for by my private insurance. They could (and did) recommed Residential Treatment Center (RTC) but couldn't make it happen. They recommended getting county MH involved- it sounds like this is where you have gotten to. About that time, I had to get difficult child on medicaid. Once on medicaid and sent from juvy, difficult child had no choice but to go to state run psychiatric hospital. That psychiatrist could and did sign the neccessary form ordering Residential Treatment Center (RTC). I would recommend that route for you- try to get her in a state psychiatric hospital instead of a private one. It still fell thru with my son because the form had to get final authorization from the MH dept where he was a resident and they refused to sign because PO told them not to. I'll never understand a MH prof who lets a PO's direction over-ride ethical practice or a psychiatrist's direction, but I guess that's where the clique and funding come into play.
