[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not trying to mess with your plans, but there are a lot of PHPs in this area, so do a little research. If your gut is "off" about it pay attention. They are not all created equal.

FWIW -- we did Dominion and it sucked. My friend's kid went through Newport in Rockville and had a good experience. I have also heard good things about Embark.[/quote]

Ive done all the research.

No other place takes BCBS.

No other local place is in person.

PHP experience won't be the same as in person. There is no way to tell in advance if it will suck. This place isnt all bad. Like I said, the psychiatrist was the best Ive spoken to, in fact the best in the entirety of DD's journey these past 3 years.[/quote]

Hi, OP. I am feeling for you in such a big way. We have been there, even Brook Lane. I think PHPs and IOPs are just like mental health care anywhere: you have to pray that you find a qualified team your kid clicks with. We actually had decent luck with Brook Lane in patient, but we couldn't do their local services for job and family reasons.

You are likely going to step down from PHP to an IOP, and you could accelerate this if the PHP is not a match (hopefully it will be!). Heartwood Group in Bethesda is solid care and takes BCBS. It's in person, and after school. They can have a waitlist, so you may want to do the intake to get a place in line. I know, I know. Not another intake!!! Exhausting.

Just know there is another mom out there rooting for you tonight. Your care and devotion are coming through in all your posts.
