[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 606596, member: 1967"] I know that you don't want to hear this but 16K for a good 90 day program is really a very good price. My daughter's residential was $500 a day and there was no discount for self-pay. Many people do take out a second mortgage to pay or take out a loan but that is a personal decision and there is no right or wrong answer. I did find out that several of the addiction centers difficult child's therapist recommended did take clients on "scholarships" at little to no cost. Unfortunately, we felt that our difficult child needed a dual-diagnosis treatment program and we were told by several well-respected people in the addiction field that the one that would be the best fit was one the one in south Florida so we sent her there. Again, many people here on the board will counsel you against going into debt to send your son into the treatment program. I would look at it as whether I would hesitate to go into a $16000 debt to buy a new car. However, I would certainly first keep trying to contact the ones you found that do take clients on a sliding scale. Could you just show up at their door? ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
