...See more Has anyone here ever been to a treatment facility (I call it residential treatment) that is a sort of extended-stay psych unit at a hospital? I'm trying to learn a bit more about them and look into them possibly for myself. Feel free to message me or reply! Thanks! :)

Do I need residential treatment? (US)
Depression Support / by merexdith

...See more I'm only 15 and over the past two year I had been admitted 4 times to a psych ward at local hospitals for suicidal ideation and everything aong that path. The most recent was a month long inpatient stay. I improved after that and for about 3 months I was doing very good. Over the past few months I've slipped back into my depression and am almost the same as I was before I was hospitalized. I'm slowly becoming a hermit in my own home and my schoolwork is affected. My treatment team considered residential (living at a facility for usually a month or more) treatment when I was last inpatient but when I had finally gotten acceted anywhere I had improved enough to go home instead. We call them residential treatment centers here in the US, but anyways I think I might need that level of care right now. I've brought it up with my parents and my therapist but it gets dismissed because the process is too challenging and insurance might not cover it. I'm not sure if my therapist just flat out doesn't think I need it and she's not telling me but I think it might help. My parents were supposed to be looking in to different centers about a month ago and I'm almost certain they've stopped but should I bring it back up to them? How do I know if I even need this type of treatment? What if I'm just overreacting?

shes good
Meredith was very sweet, kind, understanding, and truly interested in what I had to say. Her response time was phenomenal, probably one of the best I've experienced, and her professionalism and insight was off the charts. I highly recommend Meredith as a listener if you're looking for someone to actually listen to and help you.
One of the best people i have talked with
