Title: Looking for residential care for BPD 14 yo girl, northeast

Any positive experiences with residential treatment center for girl who just turned 14 that uses DBT, preferably in northeast. We already know about silver hill & McLean.

Hi Hopeandhelp

Welcome to bpdfamily. Is this girl your daughter?

I will ask around if anyone has some suggestions for residential treatment facilities in your area.

In the meantime I encourage you to look at this thread where several members have shared their experiences:

So I asked around, you already know of McLean and what I hear is that it's considered the 'gold standard' in your region:
DBT Programs for Adolescents and Young Adults (http://www.mcleanhospital.org/programs/3east)

For other recommendations you might consider contacting the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI):

Just wondering if you've had any luck tracking down RTCs in the Northeast? I, too, have a 14-year-old daughter who I fear may be headed down that path. We live in the Philadelphia area. McLean sounds ideal but at $1,435/day, it's hardly do-able.
