Facility Question and Answers / Re: Facebook groups show that kids are really great full?
« on: July 05, 2011, 03:25:16 AM »
Okay, so what do you guys recommend doing for my daughter? I honestly think having her at home is just not safe for her or us anymore, it is getting out of hand because she won't take her medications! What other things could I do or place her in?

I understand but why is everybody on this site completely against the idea of a good and helpful residential treatment facility? I mean yes there are A LOT of bad places and traumatizing to say the least, but what if there is a place out there that can help? Is anybody open to the idea..? I am not a troll I am just a parent at a loss for what to do.

Well this is odd.. The Facebook group has a lot of staff in the group who talk to the kids on there? I heard it has changed a lot in the past years? Maybe they improved it. Also they have Alumni weekend!

I see what you are saying but I don't agree with you. My daughter IS bipolar, she went through over 7 doctors who agreed with the diagnosis. If she isn't bipolar than she has another issue, hallucinating when manic IS an issue. Also she cannot be having treatment at home or in a place where she is not somewhat watched, she is bulimic and is refusing to stop she also has a past with cutting/burning and I think she has gone back to that. I don't think stone circles are that bad, if you go to their Facebook page many of the kids pointed out that was what they didn't exactly like it but it made them think a lot about what has been their life and where it is headed.
I agree that bipolar is severely over diagnosed but I think that is bipolar ll because I notice kids and adults who are just simply depressed being diagnosed, but with bipolar l there is a lot more to see is evidence with Manic states and such. Please keep in mind I am also discussing New Haven and would like input there. Thanks.

For two programs, Turnabout Ranch and New Haven RTC, I found open Facebook groups and numerous amounts of the kids who had been there wrote how good they were doing and that they miss the program. I really need my fourteen year old daughter to get help, she is refusing medications for bipolar l, binge drinking, she won't go to therapy, and she is in and out of inpatient with no change. I would get her to go without an escort service but do you think I will be able to get her into a program without abuse? The facebook groups were really reassuring after I read about abuse at facilities like this and I have not read anything bad about New Haven. Input please?

I was wondering if there have been any legit stories of success from either of these RTC facilities. Also I wanted to know where they stand on abuse... any knowledge on these places would be greatly useful, thank you!!
