Advice on Residential treatment 19dd

[Daisy123]

Hi folks,
How do you choose a residential treatment center for my 19dd? Is there an advocate you can recommend?
We are currently looking at Insight in Chicago.
Is there any advise people could offer when choosing a place and convincing insurance that she is at that need of care?

Our objective is to better understand the struggles our child faces and to learn the skills to improve our relationship and provide a supportive environment and also improve on our own emotional responses, attitudes and effectiveness as a family leaders

Hi Daisy.

We literally googled. 

Found 20-30 centers, narrowed it down by looking at the websites, and called 4-6 of the remaining ones.

Decided on one that was relatively close to us (300 miles), and that we could afford, and that specialized in BPD.

Hi Daisy123

I'm in the UK, wondered if your local NAMI may have a parents network for local feedback on RTCs, list of advocates etc.
