[quote=Anonymous]I’m not sure what you mean about inpatient being too clinical. There are actually two levels here. Inpatient is crisis stabilization and is very short term (a few days to a week). Residential sounds like the level you need - approx 1-3 months. Residential is dorm-style with a mix of group and individual therapy combined with some school work, art programming, physical activity like hiking, and some regular planned social interaction. Programs really vary based on their focus and they are not all out of pocket, so do some research. It surprises me that a therapist would recommend wilderness as the next level after regular outpatient therapy. (And as a PP mentioned, depending on the wilderness program, there will be kids with very disruptive behaviors, co-occurring substance use issues, etc.) [/quote]
