[quote=Anonymous]Am in the same boat. My DD attempted recently and we are looking into an RTC. May I ask which residential treatment center your child is going to? We are looking. It's very complicated and there are huge waiting lists so my DD is at home right now. FYI we bought safes for medication, put combination locks on laundry room door where there are tools and detergents, and a combination lock where we store medications and kitchen sharps (in our master bathroom). We confiscated computers, phones. She is never alone. Doors opened at all times. Here are some additional tips I got from other people: 1. double up the difficulties. For example, put a safe in a place that will be locked with a combination lock. 2. They can google how to open safes, so if you are really worried that you child is actively suicidal you need to buy a gun safe. They are expensive but you can't open them. 3. You can buy locks that open with your fingerprints. 4. When you suspect your kid is down you put them on suicide watch. Hope this helps and good luck on this journey!javascript:void(0);[/quote]
