[QUOTE="tracy551, post: 89743, member: 3565"] My son also was ADD. He is now 17 1/2 and in a Residential Treatment Center (RTC) because of behavior, truancy, drugs and alcohol (etc, etc, etc) I too had an evaluation ordered by the court, 2 actually ( he is in his 2nd placement) The first was a bootcamp-did nothing. Now he is at a boys ranch. Doing better for now. We are not sure how things will go when he comes home. When they ordered the evaluation did they mention anything about treatment once he is diagnosed? A Residential Treatment Center (RTC) or outpatient placement? He will not, most likely work with a counselor. If he is anything like my difficult child he will tell them what they want to hear or not talk at all. Sometimes the toughest thing for them is to take away their comfort zone- HOME, MOM, DAD, FRIENDS, FAMILY. Our difficult child didn't love us until he was gone. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
