[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 701256, member: 1233"] When my son got older we found short term inpatient stays to be useless. Esp after he confessed that 2 of them were set up to meet girls and have private time with them. The hospital for teens in our area had mixed gender wards so girls and boys had the same therapy time and would sneak away from the adults who supposedly were in charge. And for that we got to pay huge fees. A hotel would have been a LOT cheaper. Sigh. That ended and the entire inpatient leadership changed after a number of girls got pregnant and their parents proved it happened on the hospital ward. This was 2 years after my son's last stay there. You might look into something like Boys Town for her. We had a placement lined up for my son that would have been from age 14 to age 18 or high school graduation, but chose instead to let my parents try first. We got lucky and it worked, but had he EVER gotten violent with them he would have gone to a placement like Boys town. Period. I will say that my mother did apologize to me after he was there for a month. She had NO idea how bad he was or what he would do/say to get his own way until then. She thought I was exaggerating everything, lolololol!!! I did appreciate the apology. And all she did for my son. She did the disappointment thing and the manners and my dad did the wearing down and relentless monitoring for the first year until he accepted that rules were going to happen and so were consequences.
