2 wks ago my son was discharged from a terrible 28 day treatment program. They did NO discharge planning knowing full well he had no where to go. So, they dropped him off on our doorstep at 10pm at night. He hasnt lived with us for a year, & he's never lived in this house!
Not only that, but with a nearly full month supply of his prescription pain medication: Tramadol.... 240 pills! We allowed him to stay for a few days, what else could we do?? It was discovered he took 80 Tramadol pills (above what he was he was already prescribed ) in the first 3 days here. When i realized he was abusing them, we took control of all medications immediately.
Now, he sits in the City Rescue Mission. (The city homeless shelter) Until someone figures out what to do with him. That was the absolute hardest thing to do as a parent. I'm ashamed. Most of our family & friends don't even know.
His right leg is still non functional from the knee down. Because of this, he doesnt qualify for most of the free drug rehab/work programs. The good news is, his kidneys have fully recovered. We've applied for several programs, including SSI, but they all take time to get into. In the meantime, he is severely depeessed.
