[QUOTE="klmno, post: 322083, member: 3699"] If you're looking for the quickest (which is not quick) and easiesst (which is not easy) way to get him placed in an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) in VA without footing the entire bill yourself, shoot for the school placing him thru an IEP (504 won't do much- it's not legally binding) or get him involved thru Children Services Board (CSB)- usually that means changing all his mental health care over to your county's public mental health dept. (I'm not saying these are good providers, just that this is the path to Residential Treatment Center (RTC)). I hate to break this to you, but most kids in Residential Treatment Center (RTC) will have had some exposure to Department of Juvenile Justice but not much or else they would be in a Department of Juvenile Justice facility. I can give you the name of two good Residential Treatment Center (RTC)'s that were resommended to me if you want them- just let me know and I'll PM them. But I think you really need to understand- this isnn't boarding school where kids are great and will be mentors for your son. They are kids who have exhibited problemtaic behavior- just like your son and some might be worse. I have done TONS of research on how VA agencies work to "help" high-risks juveniles. They also have a "parental placement" option now that's only been in effect for about a year.
