[QUOTE="DDD, post: 616238, member: 35"] I wish I had "the answer" for you. Sadly many of us have had young teens who got "discharged" from multiple treatment facilities for not following the rules or defying authority. been there done that...twice! I swear that I don't think in all my many years I cried more than I did when our difficult child was "discharged" from an awesome program. It has been around ten years and if I allow myself to "go there" I can still shed tears...which is totally uncommon for my personality. on the other hand when your teen is on the wrong track AND is discharged from a decent facility it amps up your awareness that the problem is greater than you have allowed yourself to acknowledge. I am sending understanding and caring thoughts and hugs your way. Do your best! That is the highest standard you can live by. I hope and pray that she is able to "get it" before it is too late. DDD PS: When you research another facility try to find out how many of the teens are there "court ordered" or "State paid" as opposed to private pay. It sounds unkind BUT our difficult child learned alot of bad stuff at the first program from S.A. kids with criminal histories. The 2nd program had one from the Courts and the rest were family placements and the chances were greater for success! [/QUOTE]
