[QUOTE="HereWeGoAgain, post: 30254, member: 3485"] Our daughter went to a couple of private facilities when she was sub-18 and we had insurance, that focused on mental health with substance abuse. Laureate Center in Tulsa was one, I think they have other locations too. After majority she has been on state aid (Illinois) and admitted to some programs that take that. Results have been mixed -- we always have had a period, ranging from 5 days up to a year, when she's stayed clean and on her medications after Residential Treatment Center (RTC) -- but ultimately she has relapsed every time so far. I don't think it makes much odds between high-dollar private centers (I get the feeling you have an issue there, as do I) and state-run facilities. in my opinion it comes down to your difficult child. If he's not committed then any solution is going to be temporary. I'll second what KFld said:<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">The ones that keep you the longest are usually the ones that can teach you the most skills.
