[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think Mountain Valley is absurdly expensive and doesn't take insurance.

Rogers in Wisconsin has good care for teens with mental health problems and they take insurance. [/quote]

It is expensive. I wish we could find something closer, more effective, etc....that took insurance but we couldn't. MVTC was amazing. Full of caring individuals.

Rogers takes insurance but your child will be booted from there before they are ready....insurance is brutal

All of the wilderness naysayers need to understand a few things (1) yes, there are some bad programs, but there are some incredible life-changing programs that have helps thousands of people (2) using an educational consultant is expensive, but helps weed out the bad programs and helps find the right fit for your child and (3) every child is different - meds dont help every child. Not every child can stay home and be helped.

The Center for Anxiety and Behavioral Change in Rockville (also McLean) is a good place to start locally, but many kids will refuse therapy like they are refusing school. I have been there. And unless you have been there and know what it is like just stop commenting right now.

OP - do what is right for your family and your child. I am in your shoes.....I get you,[/quote]
