[QUOTE="DDD, post: 30340, member: 35"] The most successful placements that I have read of on the board were EGBS placements (emotional growth boarding schools). They are also the most expensive. Usually they require 2nd mortgage financing etc. as it is as expensive as college HOWEVER...most of our children will not make it to college unless they get intensive help. We did three substance abuse programs. The first two were private pay and the initial placement was recommended by a lady who was the retired head of the Department of Juvenile Justice office. Sadly, the facility had changed hands and management and my husband and I are convinced it harmed our son by association with experienced criminals. The 2nd private placement was very good but out boy had learned to "buck" at the first placement and he ended up being discharged by personnel. The 3rd placement was Department of Juvenile Justice. IF we could go back...my husband and I would have mortgaged the business and the house and sent easy child/difficult child to an EGBS. We just did NOT get that his whole life depended on those first choices. DDD by the way, he could have refused placement legally but he was not openly defiant then..or now. So sad. [/QUOTE]
