[QUOTE="CAmom, post: 13013, member: 1835"] Deb, the transfer to another type of facility was being considered only after another month or so if he continues to not meet the demands of the program. The program coordinator, the one who, reluctantly, suggested that his issues with impulse control might be physiological rather than blatant oppositional/defiant in nature arranged the visit with the psychiatric and trial of depakote. They all want to see if our son responds to medical help. The house he is in has 10 boys, and they have nightly group sessions with the therapists but can also have individual sessions whenever he's there. So far, our son has sought out the therapist for those individual sessions. They are also, as you mentioned was the case with your's son's Residential Treatment Center (RTC), accountable to themselves and each other for their actions. I think once-a-week calls would be sufficient as well. Interestingly, he's the one who decided that every-night calls were too much because he wanted me "to get used to" him not being around, i.e., he'll be 18 in August. I'm HOPING that the depakote will help him because, apparently, if they do terminate him from this program, he'll have to start over in another one, losing the three months he's already put in.
