[QUOTE="exhausted, post: 441856, member: 11001"] Unfortunetly Residential Treatment Center (RTC) are very expensive. If you belong to a church you may be able to get some help from them-many people I know have been able to do that. I do know of one program in Idaho-just know it exists as I use to live in Boise many years ago. We did a private Residential Treatment Center (RTC) here when our daughter had just turned 14. This program was one of the cheapest because after 1st phase, parents brought home their child and 2 others every night to feed and sleep. The program got cheaper as our daughter progressed in levels. Food bill was pretty high an gas to and from the center 2 times a day was costly. I don't know if something like this exist there. It was 1/2 the price overall of any other private places. Unfortuneately, it often takes more than one go and our daughter needed Residential Treatment Center (RTC) again. Our only choice and maybe yours, was to get the courts involved. We turned our daughter in for everything. Called the police every time she was AWAL, when we found paraphelalia, everything. We finially got charges that got us before a judge where we begged for a specific state funded Residential Treatment Center (RTC). She is there now. We do have to pay child support to the state as she had to be put in temporary juvenile justice custody. Another option is to take your boy to youth services (called different thing in different states), where you get a break and can talk to the counselors about resources. At one point they told us (after about 5 stays there) that our only option until she broke the law was to refuse to pick her up. At that point they put the child in DCF custody. There is an investigation into abuse. Most of the time you just have to tell them that your child is ungovernable and you need help and have no other options. Day treatment is also a less expensive option and some of these have sliding scales. Your insurance may cover a day treatment program. These are often attached to hospitols, United Way agencies or state mental health places. Welcome and please keep us posted. I know how hard this is. I will ask my friends in Idaho what they know and send you a private message. [/QUOTE]
