[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 335206, member: 1169"] Residential Treatment Center (RTC) is a very viable option. Kanga has been in Residential Treatment Center (RTC) almost two years and has only assaulted staff twice. At home, she'd assault us twice a day! It sounds like his medications are not right. Every time he does something violent, call and have him admitted to the psychiatric hospital. Fight for him to stay there while they adjust his medications. See if they have an Intensive Outpatient Program he can transition to before returning to school. Since it sounds like medication management is going to be a huge part of his treatment, you might want to look for an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) with a psychiatrist that sees the kids AT LEAST weekly. Kanga's first Residential Treatment Center (RTC) had a psychiatrist on campus every day and he say the kids twice a week. Her current Residential Treatment Center (RTC) has a psychiatrist that sees the girls once every 1-2 months. Will your insurance cover any of the Residential Treatment Center (RTC)? Another option is to work with your school district, they may fund it (rare but can happen if he is violent at school). [/QUOTE]
