Has anyone experience putting a teen into full time residential care (e.g., 6 to 12 mths)? Main objective would be to provide 24-7 protection. Downside is removes from family, positive school situation and friends. Current approach to keep as option and carefully monitor red flags but not go down this route as yet. Shorter term residential care (e.g., 6 to 8 weeks) also suggested as potential option when shifting to new meds and / or processing traumatic situation. Any views appreciated.
