[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 385501, member: 2423"] As others have pointed out, RTCs across the country vary in quality. My son has been at an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) in Utah since August 2009. It is not a lock-down facility, it doesn't resemble a hospital in any way, it is very home-like and relationship-based. The therapy is based on Ross Greene's Collaborative Problem Solving techniques and Foster Cline and Jim Fay's Love and Logic methods. My son is thriving there, but it would not be the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) for every adolescent. Sending our son to Utah was certainly the hardest decision we ever made as parents, but it has also turned out to be the best. I have no illusions that my son still faces bumps along his journey. But I do know that had we not intervened with Residential Treatment Center (RTC), he had no future. Good luck with your decision. [/QUOTE]
