[QUOTE="exhausted, post: 539117, member: 11001"] I like Nancy's suggestions as well. I would push for that with his PO-does he know what happened? There are usually some county programs-can you research these. I know they have waiting lists usually, might be good to get on them. Do you have a church you could get help from. I know many families that have here-we even needed some help with our daughter as she needed to stay much longer than the usual stay. Some private places give discounted rates to churches. Just a thought. We have a closet with all cleaning supplies and medication locked up. We had to do this when difficult child was in first Residential Treatment Center (RTC)-we brought girls home to stay each night after their long treatment days, so we had to install alarms and locks all over. We still use them even though difficult child has not, as of yet, used anything but pot, you never know. For me, if difficult child wants to use something else she will, but I don't want the burden of knowing she got it at my house. ((Hugs)) I am glad your boy made it through and can't imagine how terrified you must have been. Keep us posted. [/QUOTE]
