Would like a Reference for - Can we talk?

[Guest guest]

Hello Everyone,

My dd has been on the 's wait list since April. I've been reading old posts

about rogers but would love to email or talk by phone to someone who's child has

been there. I'm frustrated by the poor communication coming out of their

admissions office and the multiple times we've been told it will be two or so

more weeks. (mid May, early June, no mid June, oh sorry now end of July) I've

started looking again at other intensive programs. In my gut I'm thinking

is the place for her but I would love to talk to someone and get some details on

their experience. She desperately wanted to get on top of the OCD before school

begins but at this point she'll miss part or most of first trimester. Other

program recommendations are welcome too.

Thank you.

The Mayo clinic has a very intensive OCD program (8 days I think). Then there's

Meninger's clinic and a program in Boston (more for adolescence).

We opted not to do 's because we had not tried enough outpatient intensive

therapy and given the prohibitive cost we thought we'd do that first. They had

a bed ready June 15th. My husband objected more to the program than I did. He

feels that because of the structure and programming that is constant there and

not like home, my son would need to be there a long time (5 mos or so) because

Matt has a tendency to go along with things until he can get home where he will

rely on old coping skills. There may be a time when will be right for

us, for now we're moving ahead with other options.

Good luck.

I hope this isn't a terribly rude question, but I've been thinking about the

families whose kids have spent 5 or 6 months at a place like . How does

one pay for this? Do insurance companies actually step up and pay most of the

bills?

We are like most folks in that if we have a couple of thousand dollars in the

bank, we're doing well. :-D We are not considering this kind of option for my

daughter right now. But it is always in the back of my mind. I need to know

there's somewhere to turn in case she has to be hospitalized again and short

term hospitalization isn't good enough. Y'know?

Thanks.
