[QUOTE="jbrain, post: 93860, member: 3450"] My dtr was in a lockdown facility in Utah and kids still managed to run once in awhile. And this was a highly regarded, very expensive Residential Treatment Center (RTC). Speaking of that, many parents cannot afford a private facility! We had to take out a bigger loan for that Residential Treatment Center (RTC) than we did for our mortgage on our house and I am not sure it was worth it in the end. The 2nd rehab our dtr went to was a state run one and she actually thinks it was the better place. She did try to run from it but didn't get far. I think what Dore doesn't understand is that none of these kids want to be in rtcs or rehab. It may be where they need to be and they may work the program or fake their way through but they do not want to be there. I think my dtr learned a lot of skills she needed and she did get her GED but she was always wanting to leave. She also learned how to talk the talk even better than before she went in (she was a master at psychobabble) so she was very convincing that she had "changed." [/QUOTE]
