[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 158109, member: 1498"] What is it you expect from day treatment? My son was in day treatment after his suicide attempt. The day treatment program was a total farce. The approach was that the kids could control themselves and behave if only they wanted to. My son was still on the antidepressant -- violent and psychotic -- with a doctor (his personal psychiatrist was the same one he had in the hospital and at day treatment) who either didn't know or chose not to believe that my son was clearly having an adverse reaction to the drugs she was prescribing. When he became agitated and hostile, they called me to pick him up and take him home! I asked them why they thought he was there! They knew he was violent towards me but that didn't stop them from demanding I take him home with me when they thought he was going to be violent there. Gee, thanks for all the help. Pretty much, all they did was sit around and talk about feelings. From what my son said (admittedly he wasn't a reliable reporter in those day), the focus was usually on why they couldn't get along with their parents. But that's what the local program was like. Others' milage may vary. [/QUOTE]
