[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 170404, member: 1514"] I dont think Social Services wants to get involved in difficult child drama here much. I actually worked for them and begged for help and they didnt have a clue. Everything runs through mental health here. I dont think it is any easier to get into a Residential Treatment Center (RTC) here than it is anywhere else. I had to fight tooth and nail. I did manage group homes which are considered a lower level of Residential Treatment Center (RTC). I also think the techs may be easier to come by here if you get medicaid. Or if you can get in on the sliding scale at one of the clinics. I think your son would do well with a tech personally. Cory had one with him in the school and in the community up through at 15...almost 16 when he quit school. That would solve your babysitting problem. Corys tech had him 40 hours a week. He actually took him to therapy, psychiatrist and after school activities, along with being with him in school. Could you ask about having your son admitted to a wilderness camp in another state? There is one in NC that does medications...two I think...and one that doesnt. I have first hand experience with the one that doesnt but have known people who used one of the ones that does. [/QUOTE]
