From the description, hillsides residential treatment center, has changed. Which one would hope and expect ( from 1990). However, very TTI qualities. The control , overly structured environment. Huge trigger and red flag- they allow you as a parent( who admitted their teen) to visit only a few hours , during the whole week. RTC's use black out period's, for decades, meaning the program purposely isolate's the teen from their family, friends,and community. They isolate to try to indoctrinate , your child, and control what your child says to you. . Staff monitor phone calls home.. and, of course cell phone , I pads any connection to their home life is not allowed , or heavily monitored ( if allowed) . A teen has a right to be in their home( if safely is not an issue). Go to school , and do therapy or day treatment.. sports, or other interests. A diagnosis or struggle become the adolescent's identity. This environment may be pretty, keep the the adolescent's busy with various activities. It still doesn't mean it's an emotionally/ physically safe environment. And, little focus on school work., as well. ( these programs like to control books ,and music) and Standard textbooks. The adolescent is supposed to to follow what the program allows only. Any questions, or healthy push back. Punishment, ( loss of points, privileges, and use visits with the parents as leverage for total compliance. Also these places love to say treatment resistant, and or try to extend your child's stay. Until insurance, and parents stop buying into this traumatizing Teen Industry, teens will walk out of these programs with true post traumatic stress disorder, and or Complex traumatic stress disorder. Tti 's do vary in severity, however they have the same manipulative language, aggressive marketing, and are all " trauma informed " with several modalities. It's jargon, and B.S. .and, group therapy , ends up being purely aggressive "attack therapy ". It's not evidence based care I'm calling out, it's out of home placement's , out dated behavior modification, ( the level system) does more harm than good than good. Does not tech accountability, self discipline, and self regulation. . Please avoid all RTC's, " therapeutic schools", Children and teens have died since the 90's in tti program's and survivors never forget even after they become adults . Most survivors of the TtI come out of the program withPTSD or C-PTSD. The triggers can last decades. Betrayal and lack of trust in medical professionals, parents, and psychologists as, well. Please research private for profit: non profit Tti program history. ( unsilenced is an example, reviews tell a little, however their usually from parents perspective, and given how teens are controlled in programs, they won't be able to speak honestly. Again, ultimately parents can keep supporting this " industry " or not fund it. read more
