[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 538776, member: 1514"] If they are offering those services, take them because those are as rare as hens teeth at this point in time. My son was at Dix for almost 9 months all total. He went in to the psychiatric hospital for about a month and then transferred to the prtf for the rest of the time. Im lucky that he did this all voluntarily because I could have had to fight him with going to court every 30-45 days and have the judge keep deciding if he was still bad enough to continue with this care but my son knew me well enough that had he blown this chance, I would have killed him. I had been trying to get him into a locked facility for almost 4 years at that point and I think I would have rung his neck. He had been in so many group homes by that time it wasnt funny. He would get to one and run back home within days. His caseworkers kept trying to move him further and further away from my house but still in their territory and it was getting to be a game for him. I was fed up. His entire teen years I kept his clothes in a hefty bag. It was bad. Now Cory says it was just him. He doesnt know why he was like that. He was just so impulsive and he wanted what he wanted and he was going to get it no matter what. [/QUOTE]
