[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 254658, member: 393"] [SIZE=3][FONT=Comic Sans MS]In my area, RTCs are utilized for stabilization, learning skills for home & lots of therapy, individual, group & family. The step down from Residential Treatment Center (RTC) would be group home & then to home, depending on the difficult child & the circumstances. The tweedles have both had stints in Residential Treatment Center (RTC); wm came home, then back to Residential Treatment Center (RTC); stepped down to therapeutic group home run by fosters with weekend respite staff. He remains there 3 years later & by far it's the best answer for my family. kt is soon off to Residential Treatment Center (RTC); again for stablization ~ she's melting into a big puddle right now. She will likely come home but it's not unreasonable to consider a group home if kt cannot pull it together & needs a higher level of structure/supervision than can be offered here.
