[QUOTE="Goldie, post: 511057, member: 13756"] What about sending him to a residential treatment facility in another state? My 19-year-old difficult child just did a 31-day stay at such a facility in Pennsylvania. (We live in NY.) Because he is 19 and therefore legally an adult, he did have to consent. We had to kick him out to get him to do that, and it took two months of couch-surfing before he decided he was willing to go. But most of the other kids in his unit at the Residential Treatment Facility (RTF) were under 18, and I know that their consent was [I]not[/I] required. As far as getting him to the RFT, maybe you could use the services of an interventionist. ETA: I see that [B]exhausted [/B]already suggested treatment out-of-state in post #13, so . . . I second that recommendation! [/QUOTE]
