[QUOTE="Lucedaleblessed, post: 254431, member: 6747"] Having a brother who have tried both, I would leave it with the group home. They are normally smaller and there is more time to deal with the individual kid. Residential Treatment Center (RTC) can be fine if you want to handle a specific problem, but you are so depended on staff changes and who the therapist is. Times are hard and because I am on various newletters due to the situation with my daughter and it seems that they are cutting the expensive staff first in order to "focus their treatment". I was so close to sent my daughter to a Texas for hike followed by treatment at a boarding school in Conroe which had been restructured to a specific treatment area, but then they removed haft the treatment in the wilderness program. Then the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) got shut down due to expensive but good staff and low enrollment. I have been so frustated. The second wilderness program shut down because people kept digging the news about a death years back under a different management up. We have a backup-backup plan with my daughter. If the outdoor don't work, it is my brothers place. If the remote place he lives at don't make her comply, it could be a group home. I just don't hope it will come to that. I would suggest to support the group home and the rules they have even if I find the rule of several weeks without contact both odd and scary. What could happen if you could speak with him? You know why he ended up there. [/QUOTE]
