[QUOTE="shad16_12, post: 254124, member: 6964"] After overdosing on Advil two weeks ago...he was referred to outpatient day treatment program...very quickly within two days. They knew from the first day that he would be going to his fathers for March break. I assumed the program ran around the school year calender. SW said they would probably discharge him then re-admit for week after March break. They discharged him but they wont be re-admitting him. I dont think they addressed his issues. They put him on Concerta the day he got there...he hasnt even reached the therapeutic dose yet (still taking 18mg 7days... then 36 mg...)and they're done with him. I asked them why they havnt addressed the anxiety or depression...they say he gets anxious because he's hyper. Hyper is the last thing id call him. He paces in circles...to relieve the uncomfortable feelings of anxiety...I dont think ADHD is any reason for someone to want to die. Maybe the impusivity could be a reason for taking pills but he says he doesnt care if he dies....None of the self-help workbooks were even touched by him. They said he did participate in discussions. The community re-integration workbook isnt touched either. I really wasnt kept in the loop...We're supposed to follow up with paed for concerta. They want him to go to substance abuse couselling...I have no problem with early intervention but the kid smoked a joint with his friend...neither of them can even roll it for themself...It just seems like him taking a handful of pills is more the issue right now.
