[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 194945, member: 3626"] An Residential Treatment Center (RTC) is a Residential Therapeutic Camp -- they are usually away from civlization (a necessity for runners). It is quite a bit more than a boys camp or a military school in what is offered. A good one will have counselors and therapists on site or on call. Much of it works on peer pressure -- you blow it, your whole group gets in trouble and, ultimately, the group forces you to toe the line. There are group meetings, gripe sessions, very set rules. They are, to put it mildly, expensive and it is hard to get insurance or anyone else to pay for it. I had to cash out my retirement accounts and refi my home to pay for my daughter's. I could have sent her to Harvard for 4 years for what 17 months cost me. However, she never would have made it to college -- she probably would have been a pregnant runaway by 16 if things had continued as they did. So, to me, it was worth every penny. If you go to the struggling teens site (there should be a link for it somewhere around here), you can get some good information on RTCs and emotional growth boarding schools. [/QUOTE]
