[QUOTE="MommaMia, post: 616417, member: 17516"] Thank you all for your replies and insight. I think difficult child needs a more behavioral oriented facility also. We have been told that she is not an addict, but has the risk behaviors to become one. No hard core drugs, but again, did start to seek alcohol. Our daughter said she repeatedly told the counselors that she felt the program was not for her because everyone in it were addicts, and she was having difficulty relating to them. She thought she was going to get more help with her behaviors. At 14, living a sheltered life, it was all a shock to her. Her therapist said difficult child cannot cope with the thought of being bipolar, but we all suspect she may be and this is the root of her behavior, along with ODD. I have to say, that the night she went missing was one of the worst in my life. I can't take the running away. As I said in another post, probation called us on New Year's day mad that she ran from the facility, which is actually pretty normal for kids to do. She also was not court-ordered there and went voluntarily. We are meeting with her therapist tomorrow, she is going back to Intensive Outpatient Program. difficult child feels like giving up and running away, she is afraid the court may put her in detention or an Residential Treatment Facility (RTF), just for smoking and disorderly conduct charges (separate). I am getting severely depressed. I know things are going to get worse again, and that she needs help and NOTHING is working. ' [/QUOTE]
