Even though you are saying either, I would start with your insurance company. Find out which places are in network so you can see if any are a good fit.
Also, how long do you want the program to be? |
| I would ask in the special needs forum. I have seen this topic discussed many times there |

Insurance does not cover residential treatment centers, unless it’s short term psychiatric stabilization in a hospital or a brief stint of drug rehab.

I think generally you are right. But some policies pay for part of the services. I found it difficult to find it for my son. Most programs wanted us to have a Medicaid back up. The ones that didn’t were short term and were treatment Oriented with school as a part of the program, not the reason for being there. |
Are you sure that seems really weird, |
Insurance not wanting to pay for something expensive seems weird to you? My ds was inpatient at a hospital and every day after the first week, the doctors had to call the insurance for authorization for him to stay. Once a child is not an immediate danger to himself or others, insurance won’t pay. Many policies will cover 30 days or so of inpatient rehab. |
