[QUOTE="Sagegrad, post: 238226, member: 6481"] We just went through this with our 8yo. 2 visits in a psychiatric hospital over the Halloween/Thanksgiving Holidays. We were working towards residential placement at that point and we truly agonized over the decision. In my opinion, the psychiatric hospital stays did nothing but pave the insurance road for the Residential Treatment Center (RTC). in my opinion it was easier for the psychiatric hospital to overmedicate my child than truly look at the medications and since it was short term ,they (the hospital staff) knew they couldnt do anything and didnt bother trying. But our insurance wouldnt even talk residential without an emergency psychiatric hospital stay. 6 weeks into Residential Treatment Center (RTC) and my daughter is doing alot better. The medications have been addressed and she is being weened off the unneccesary ones. And the ones she's on really are working for the better. Sorry I cant offer more, but please know Im right with you on this being a hard decision. Trust in your heart that you'll do the best thing for your child [/QUOTE]
