I am court ordered to attend a residential treatment program, but want to go away from home. I am only county covered with medical for my county. Any ideas??

Since you are court ordered...the court has to help you find a residential...so they can talk with your insurance about it

I am looking for a residential treatment center for MENTAL HEALTH. Something long term for a year or longer. For adult males only. I have searched and searched and i cant find anything. I need a professional to help me. He has bipolar and scitzophrenia. Thank You.

I used to be a Deputy Sheriff here in Texas, and one of the things I did was to transport mental health patients to different facilities. Most of them were state facilities, but I recall one that I believe is a residential facility. The atmosphere was so much better than most, and the patients entered into this place freely and voluntarily. On occasion, when I would take somebody to Terrell or Rusk, they would talk of how they preferred Glen Oaks in Greenville TX.. Maybe they had been there before, or just heard of it, I don't know. I've even had people tell me they wouldn't cooperate with me unless I took them to Glen Oaks. And some didn't, and they sure fought hard. I really hated doing that. I remember the place well. It is right off of I-30. I do not remember if they took forced committals or not. I don't think they do, but that is up to the stipulations and the court judgment along with the place of business. You could contact them to find out. It would probably be worth it. they are owned by a company that may have more facilities closer to you, according to where you live. Any facility like this is going to be less pleasant than home, and there will be certain types of lock-downs and privileges monitored. However, Glen Oaks does allow a certain amount of smoking, which is a big issue with most patients as most of them smoke. they allow visitation and bringing clothes to loved ones. I've visited all of them from just east of Dallas, to Texarkana, to Tyler, to Rusk. Glen Oaks seemed to be the best. I do not remember the names, but I also remember some more relaxed atmospheres and voluntary committals in Sherman, maybe Atlanta, and Tyler, but Glen oaks is your best bet. MHMR may know of some, and probably do, but they usually deal with state facilities that I saw. More often than not, dealing with MHMR patients was problematic with violence.

I am new to this, but am wondering if any of you have adult children in residential treatment programs for people with developmental disabilities? How do you go about funding something like this? Is social security there to help with what I can't cover out of pocket? Any advice or experiences would be very helpful, and thank you.

look in your yellow pages under gov. look for dept. of disabilities. if your son was diagnosed before the age of 21 the state well pick up the whole bill. as well as fund anything else he needs.
if you son has social sercurity then you know about red tape and hanging in there sometimes it is very easy and sometimes you have to patient.

My stepson has Child Bipolar Disorder and my wife and I are unable to pay or qualify for help for residential treatment. We are hoping to find additional resources in order to do what is best for our family and our son/stepson.

Check out your local library. Through meds and behavioral changes, it can be controlled. It will take patience and understanding on your part. The web also has a lot of stuff on it. If you would like email me for more info.

I have an eating disorder almost 7 years in the making. I am looking for residential treatment now, but my health insurance does not cover it. How do I get a clinician to argue for this, and is that even the proper way to go about it?

Thanks for any help.

healthquotes.awardspace.info - here is my health insurance plan. As I remember they can provide such a service.
