[QUOTE="Coping11, post: 675782, member: 19899"] New here. I've admitted my daughter (bipolar, eating disorders) to several Residential Treatment Center (RTC)'s in the past, both in the US and here in Europe. The first two times were a failure, she pretended to cooperate and then relapsed once she was out and was not as tightly supervised as she was at the facility. The third and fourth times were a little bit better - she seemed to gain more insight into her condition, but lacked motivation to change. She did, though, maintain healthy behaviors for a few months before relapsing, which was an improvement. It's not a perfect solution for most kids. It can't be that for everyone. But from my experience, and from the experience of other parents I've met, it can produce some improvements. It didn't "fix" my daughter, but it provide her with an environment that gave her the kind of care she needed and kept her safe, and herself her somewhat in gaining insight and coming out of her denial. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
