How do you know...

Three totally different recommendations from three experts. Local ED therapist says IOP maybe PHP, a treatment facility says PHP, another one says residential.
How is a parent supposed to know what to do?
I feel like I'm back to square one with no answers.

It depends on the patient.

It depends on the patient. Lots of behaviors plus wants to recover = PHP. Lots of behaviors and doesn't want to recover or cooperate: residential. Residential is highest level. You could start with PHP and if that is not enough, step up to residential. FYI- treatment after hospitalization goes: residential, PHP, IOP, outpatient. But some people never do residential.
