[QUOTE="kcddad, post: 162144, member: 5383"] Thanks for all the advice! At least I know others struggle with similar issues. A couple of answers that I remember: - We were leaning toward a 2-3 month program, bur realized it would be for the wrong reasons, and probably the wrong treatment. Probably too short. - CD diagnosis is from a therapist. Bio mom and bio g-pa and bio g-ma all have had similar issues, no diagnosis. None were medicated until adult or not at all, none were adopted, some substance abuse. No known other reason. difficult child fits the description of CD, but he is still not extreme in his manifestation - could be worse. - Attachment disorder, Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) - not diagnosed, just suspected in a mild form. Haven't read Keck's books, but I'll look him up. - medications studies - I have heard of these studies, that a good prescription will prevent substance abuse. That was a turning point for me. Thanks again. Suggestions welcome. [/QUOTE]
