[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 123265, member: 3626"] I'm not even sure why they bothered calling you. It is pretty common for Residential Treatment Center (RTC) kids to go up and down in levels. I would actually worry more if there were no drops because that, to me, says the child is manipulating the program rather than actually working it. There's no question the structure and black and white rules cannot be imitated in the real world, but those things help give our kids tools for when they get back in the real world. I think most fall after honeymooning at home when they are released. The successes don't let those falls stop them from trying again ... this is something they learn by "failing" in the Residential Treatment Center (RTC). So, maybe your daughter going back on chips can be looked at as something positive. Good luck with the meeting on Sunday. Don't let them get you down! [/QUOTE]
