[QUOTE="Ephchap, post: 63981, member: 27"] Cathy, Yes, I am all for a longer placement after the 28-day crisis stay. We attempted to arrange that with our son. Unfortunately, the 21 day stay place released him on day 12, and we had not yet secured the long term Residential Treatment Center (RTC). Once we finally got him in, he was in a long-term (he ended up staying 10 months until his 18th birthday) dual-diagnostic (psychiatric and substance abuse) residential treatment facility. I have nothing but good things to say about my son's placement. He lived with 11 other boys. They had daily group sessions, and he also had individual weekly sessions. I think it totally saved my son's life. Of course, he now says that he was ready to make a change, but "nudging" him there certainly helped. If it's a good program and you can get him in and get help with or have the resources for funding, I'd definitely say go for it. Hugs, Deb [/QUOTE]
