[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 402920, member: 1169"] There are RTCs that are locked and do not use levels. That may be what your SS needs. In a locked ward, the docs can use the medications because the risk of street drugs is minimized. And without levels,. there is nothing to fight against. Kanga spent 6 months in a level-free unit of her current Residential Treatment Center (RTC). Everything was immediate feedback and only a very few things (HTS, HTO, AWOL) earned more than the immediate consequence. Constant 'fresh starts' all day long. It kept a kid from throwing in the towel when they knew they'd lost enough points that they wouldn't 'make' their day. I agree with everyone else -- a full and complete psychiatric (preferably neuropsychologist) evaluation is in order: personality testing, reality testing, functional testing, complete social-history. Without a better grasp on what is going on, it will be difficult to treat. It may come down to -- like my Kanga and Sue's thank you -- Residential Treatment Center (RTC) may only keep everyone else safe from them. [/QUOTE]
