I am just starting a new thread which is a continuation of my previous ones from last month. It took quiet a while to get to the next step due to some complications.
The psychiatrist evaluation of my difficult child from the detention center recommended a group home or Residential Treatment Center (RTC). Basically psychiatrist came to a conclusion that difficult child has oppositional issues and high defiance and may be bipolar. He couldn't tell for sure about the bipolar, due to the non-compliance of difficult child in the tests. But he concluded that home setting treatment, even if it is intensive therapy, is not going to work. His recommendation was, try the group home and if it doesn't work Residential Treatment Center (RTC).
Prosecutors went for Residential Treatment Center (RTC). difficult child won't agree (he thinks he doesn't have any issue and everything would be fine if he went back home). So the court had to engage a public defendant for him. In any case the final outcome was that the judge ruled that difficult child has to be in Residential Treatment Center (RTC) and probation for 18 months. difficult child is back to detention till the court finds a suitable Residential Treatment Center (RTC). difficult child was ordered to co-operate for interviews etc. He is very upset.
Now the organization which is helping out is looking for Residential Treatment Center (RTC). They mentioned that it is going to be in NJ and based on the availability and the acceptance after the interview. They also mentioned that if we have funds we can choose. I barely have any. But thinking loud, between the school district and insurance, may be I can pitch in something if that helps to find a good Residential Treatment Center (RTC),
Any body knows or first hand experience with any good Residential Treatment Center (RTC)'s around NJ area. If so please send me a private email to my inbox.
Thanks all and Regards
