[QUOTE="slsh, post: 174218, member: 8"] In my experience with- thank you and hospitals, he usually had a individual sessions a couple of times a week with a social worker/therapist. Most of the hospitals he's been in really focused on group therapy and aside from organized group therapy a couple times a day, there's a therapeutic component to almost every aspect of the day. The point of hospitalization is strictly to stabilize, not to "cure". It's a very different mindset as opposed to a medical hospitalization where the point *is* to solve the problem. The cure for our kids hopefully comes through ongoing outpatient treatment after they've been stabilized in the hospital. I'm sorry. I've always found it incredibly frustrating that hospitalization doesn't usually mean (in thank you's case anyway) significant progress. It's been a way to keep him safe, tweak medications, and get him to a point where we can continue onward in the outpatient setting. Hang in there. [/QUOTE]
