[QUOTE="DDD, post: 495753, member: 35"] I'm glad your son has stabilized and is safe. On the CD site it is suggested that facility information be shared or requested via PM's so there is not an appearance of an endorsement. Perhaps you could post asking for personal experiences with facilities that seem to meet your criteria. I wish you all the best. In trying to recall your son's issues I remember that he has smoked pot, turned to undesireable friends, and sadly attempted suicide. What I don't know if which came first "the chicken or the egg". Perhaps you outlined the onset of problems and the progression and I didn't absorb the pattern. What I am wondering is if his pattern of behavior radically changed at a specific age, whether he has participated in ongoing counseling for a period of time, and whether the pot use etc. has been for self medicating. That age was one of the most difficult for parenting in our family. With some we did a better job of "seeing" the right problems than we did with others. Do you have a professional concensus so when seeking a facility you know it is appropriate for his actual issues? Residential care is costly and traumatic...and can have wonderful results, of course. I just would hope that it would have maximum benefit. Sending caring hugs. DDD [/QUOTE]
