[QUOTE="Steely, post: 240882, member: 3301"] Well, if you can pay for it, than you just start applying to different RTCs. They would admit him based on his history, needs, your needs, etc. Do you have a counselor you are working with that has suggested this route? The biggest concern would be that you are getting him into one that is right for him - and that this decision is the right thing for him. That is why it would be wise to have a counselor or social worker helping with this. RTCs are not just for a mildly troubled kid. They are intense, demanding, and in my opinion pretty sterile and void of affection. For some kids, this is exactly what they need to get back on track. In my son's situation, I looked high and low for a place that was more of a group setting, that also had 24/7 counseling and medication checks. It is a really comprehensive decision, that takes many months to research in order to find the right fit for your child. If you and husband are sure this is what difficult child needs, than the next step is to enlist the help of a counselor, or an educational consultant, and really research to find the best choice for him.
