Hello. I also have a 16 year old daughter and am researching Residential Treatment options. I put a thread out there last week that may be of some help or try a search here. I have found the best options are self-pay, so for me, not an option. I have found one option that is clinical hospital setting, full immersion DBT focused on emotional dysregulation with selective admission for motivated teen girls, in-network. Location is WI, with a law that states ages 14+ can refuse care, admission must be voluntary. The research is daunting. There are several on-line watch groups listing dangerous facilities and most of them are in-network for my insurance, falling under Universal Health System
(UHS) control. It is the most difficult of decisions to place a vulnerable child in the care of the system. I presented this option to daughter yesterday with the usual I am not going, I will runaway. I presented the alternative, that in the next crisis, she will be placed involuntary in a less than optimal facility, dangerous population, prison like atmosphere. I pointed to the benefit of excellent care, during summer break, with her successful discharge resulting in her obtaining her goals of returning to high school senior year, a car and a job, a future. Please know you are not alone and let us know what you find out there.
