[QUOTE="ck1, post: 77358, member: 3767"] The Residential Treatment Facility (RTF) is actually run by a for-profit, rather large company. They are a licensed and accredited facility. When I went to visit, they didn't have any notice except for the two hours it took me to get there. I talked with the director of admissions for a while then told him that I could only make a decision if I saw it and decided it had to be right then. Thankfully, they were all fine with that and I met with three people while I was there. I saw the house (very clean) and the kids had just gotten back from school and they all seemed fine. I've talked with other staff members several times since Friday and I've talked with his therapist. I'm very happy with her and we'll talk again on Thursday and Friday for our first family session via phone conference. From what I'm told, my difficult child seems to be adjusting well. I'm anxious to talk with him and may call him tomorrow evening. He can call me once a week, but I'm not sure what night yet. All who have met him have said that they believe he is very "workable" and should be fine. There are some issues for him to work on, but he's very agreeable about doing so, therefore, the professionals feel we've intervened quickly enough to be able to help him. I really hope so but only time will tell. Thanks for all of your comments and please keep them coming if you think of anything I should ask or find out more about. [/QUOTE]
