[QUOTE="DDD, post: 216997, member: 35"] I was thinking about your family last night :surprised1: and realized that nobody directed you to search for a dual diagnostic residential facility that addresses substance issues as well as mental health issues (like ODD, anxiety, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) etc...not extreme disorders). A couple of CD families found such facilities that worked out beautifully for them. There is appropriately trained psychiatrists and Tdocs as well as substance abuse specialists. Like you, I could not send my child to an environmentally induced mind change setting. It can work well for some kids but not for mine, for sure. We tried the outpatient programs but even though he related to the counselors (much to my surprise, lol) he was still at the same school and in the same neighborhood and just couldn't find the strength to overcome. We also tried three residential programs short term. If we had to turn back the hands of time (:blushing: I'd scream and kick all the way, by the way) I would find a dual diagnosis. program and find a way to afford it. Some CD parents took out sizable 2nd mortgages to finance their difficult child's therapeutic programs. We just spent what retirement money we had saved which limited our choices. Network and research. Good luck. DDD [/QUOTE]
