[quote=Anonymous]There are some long threads in this forum, including threads I was reading when my DD with generalized anxiety disorder/depression was in-patient for suicidality for the second time last year. What I read scared me off.

This is one of the articles posted on that thread: https://www.hcn.org/articles/wilderness-do-wilderness-therapy-programs-really-work

I did a lot of looking at websites, but anyone can build an amazing-looking website with gorgeous pictures of wilderness and happy kids canoeing or rock climbing or whatever. You really have to dig deep. I think the thread in this forum recommended (expensive) consultants who can point you in the right direction, but we didn't follow through on that. I was looking at non-wilderness residential programs, but we ended up not having to go down that road either. If I'd had to, though, it would have been for a residential program (even tho my DD is very outdoorsy so there was a lot of superficial appeal to the idea of a wilderness program).

If your son is imploding you need help now, and any good program is going to take quite some time to get into -- have you called your provider's emergency/back-up line?[/quote]
