Residential Drug Treatment needed for longer than one week..... Please Help!

Dear Blue Cross Support Person,

 According to our benefit booklet, my child qualifies for residential drug treatment. Why did Blue Cross pay for her residential treatment for only one week? Blue Cross "down-graded" my child's care to "partial hospitalization" starting at the second week .  Please answer this question: How can a drug addict get well when they are told to go home (and live around all their drug using friends) and just attend intensive day treatment? How can I get Blue Cross to pay for true residential treatment for more than one week? one month? 90 days? Please help!  Drug addiction treatment takes a long time!
