[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 82594, member: 1157"] They can get information from the therapist IF the patient signs a consent. My 19 year old did with this her therapist voluntarily, so I am able to touch base with her from time to time which helps tremendously. Here in VA you can't "commit" a person involuntarily unless they are an immediate threat to themselves or others. It's only a 72 hour hold, then they're released if they're deemed "stable." It's a crock really, because you can be stable one day, and not the next, as we all know (this is what happened to the VA Tech shooter). A lot depends on how willing the girl is to get treatment, to be sure. If she is resistent, sadly, there is not a lot family can do. [/QUOTE]
