Probably residential treatment. I’m sorry. We’ve been there done that. Twice actually. It’s a tough road.

PP: where did you do residential treatment and would you recommend that particular place or places?

Not DP but another one who has been down this road. Only once though. I hired an Educational Consultant who specializes in therapeutic placements. We placed her in wilderness therapy for 12 weeks followed by a year at a therapeutic boarding school. Insurance paid zippo. My daughter only recently graduated but has dug deep to do her work so I have hope. We also did our therapeutic work while she was gone.

Good luck! This journey sucks.

I am not the PP, but I have multiple friends whose kids have gone to Newport Academy's residential programs. Recovery is definitely a process, but they got good support from Newport. I have heard particularly good things about the residential program in CT. The one in VA had only just opened when I moved away, but I was glad there was a more local option for residential.
