[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 385648, member: 393"] [SIZE=3][FONT=Comic Sans MS]We've had 9 Residential Treatment Center (RTC) placements between the tweedles. Unlike Triple J's or slsh's state we got at the most 9 months of treatment & my little wonders were discharged. The first Residential Treatment Center (RTC) placement for wm was one of the hardest decision husband & I made in our lives. It felt as though we cried tears of blood. AND our hands were tied ~ we had to keep kt safe. When kt had her first Residential Treatment Center (RTC) stint it hurt less because we knew that the team at the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) we utilized were exceptional & committed people just as frustrated at my difficult children illness/disorders & the system we had to utilize. Saying the above each time kt &/or wm were in Residential Treatment Center (RTC) they were discharged with better coping & life skills; more awareness of their illness/disorder (age appropriately) & how to manage in daily life skills. It stayed with kt ~ for wm it was a matter of needing far more regulation & structure in the home than any home can provide. It never "stuck" for lack of a better word. He couldn't maintain here where there were too many emotional demands. Residential Treatment Center (RTC) made more of an impact on kt than it did on wm. wm fought every treatment option (continues to do so at the age of 16). kt wants to please, to fit, & has an internal sense of wanting to belong here at home. The Residential Treatment Center (RTC) itself has to be a good operation; the bigger piece of the pie is a difficult children ownership of the treatment plan. His ability to internalize the skills & interventions presented to survive at home & in the real world. [/FONT][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
