My son, who is making very little progress feeling better, even on medication and with therapy, is going to start a partial hospitalization program next week, for a few weeks. We are hopeful that this will help him. In the event that it does not, we are going to consider residential treatment facilities that are longer term in nature. He is not a substance abuser, though...his issues are severe anxiety, depression, and possibly bipolar II. I have started to search out programs on line, but most of them are for school age children(my son did graduate from high school, but was unable to start college), and he's 18. I know I have to be very wary of these programs and would only consider one after seeing it and talking to parents and former patients. Anyone have any secret sources for scoping out the well-run programs? Thank you.
