[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can we PLEASE stop blaming and shaming the families who make an informed choice to send their child into residential treatment?  Count yourselves lucky indeed if you haven't had to take your teen to the hospital for multiple psychiatric stays, only to have them face a chaotic and dangerous environment while there and to be discharged days later with no follow-up.

Lots of armchair psychiatrists here.  It would be helpful for you all to let us know about the wonderful low-cost programs you seem to think are out there.[/quote]

Yep. Times a thousand. You get discharged into the vast void of no intermediate care. [/quote]

serious question - did you read the description of TRAILS? It is not designed at all for a child who was just discharged from the hospital. [/quote]

I personally know families whose kids have gone to TRAILS and had positive experiences. And you don't sound familiar with the merry-go-round of inpatient and residential stays that some families endure trying to get help for their kids. [/quote]
