Your child should not need hospitaliztion, if it's truly bipolar, there are good meds for that, but I'd tackle the RAD first to be sure that's not the real issue.(I'm sure I'll get disagreement on this, but that's what I would do).
We use in home therapy, but I'm not sure why they call it mobile unless they just mean coming to you. If it's a good therapist you will need to be involved in the therapy. They will be giving you special parenting instructions for Rad specific to your daughter(if they're trained to treat RAD) and also she'll need to bond to you. I Rocked my RAD kids 30 min a day also which helped a lot with the younger ones.
You didn't say how old your other children were. If they're young, get a sitter for the first visit and you'll know what you need to do after that.
Good luck. If she has RAD IMO, bipolar often gets misdiagnosed because a RAD kid can display the same type behaviors. When the RAD starts healing, the behaviors should subside, if not, then bipolar is the issue and meds can be very helpful.
I'd be curious to know what you think of the therapist after he leaves.
