[QUOTE="ck1, post: 84249, member: 3767"] I'm sorry, I don't have any advice for you. I just wanted to say how sorry I am that this is happening. I can only imagine how sick you must feel right now, not knowing where your son is or why he makes the decisions he has. Where we live you must have a referral from a psychiatrist stating that Residential Treatment Facility (RTF) is absolutely necessary. Then there is a specific group, called the Residential Treatment Facility (RTF) Group, that gathers all the information about your child then they send it out to the Residential Treatment Facility (RTF)'s. Once the Residential Treatment Facility (RTF)'s review the referral, they decide whether or not to accept your child. In our case, my son was accepted to four of the five (I never heard if there was a response from the fifth, didn't matter because I wouldn't have considered it) facilities the referral sent to. I went to each of the facilities then chose the one that I got the best feeling about. So far I still feel good about my decision, time will tell. I think starting with the social worker is your best bet. [/QUOTE]
