[quote=Anonymous]My son, for other issues, did the PHP program at Shepherd Pratt in Towson.  They use DBT and it’s 7hrs per day.  My son was in the program for 2 weeks but some were there shorter and some longer.

The in take process was pretty simple.  Go there and meet with an intake psych.  You would mention the self harm and the school psych and ped recommendations.  That should get you in.  You do not have to accept a placement if you don’t like it, ie if they offer you in patient, you can say No and take your hold home.  Fair warning—if you are offered placement, you start the following morning.

Given the time of year, you might be able to time the program with winter break.  SP is in network with a lot of insurance companies.

When my son came out, he worked with his local psychologist  using a mixture of DBT and CBT.  He did see his therapist 2x/week when he first came out of the PHP.  As PPs have said, DBT is intensive and this program really jump started my son.  SP will help find you an appropriate therapist as part of the discharge plan if you don’t have one.[/quote]
