[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 377976, member: 84"] Drag husband over to the computer NOW, sit him down in the chair and have him read. Been There Done That with bff. Seriously this has nothing to do with psychiatrist.....odds are he wasn't even aware they'd do such a stupid thing as to attempt to force husband off of necessary medications. *Sigh* We went through this same senerio with bff one treatment facility after another. It took several tries and lots of phone calls to find an outpatient treatment center that would work with necessary medications.....pain medications as well as mental health medications. The one that was found was excellent.....she went everyday, was drug tested everyday (tested for anything she wasn't allowed to have in her system) and attended classes everyday. A tough program, had she worked it I think she would have been ok. Just finding one that will allow the pt to continue on mental health medications is tough. Simply because pts abuse these medications often. They are quite popular street drugs. But it can be done. Most psychiatrists have little experience with treatment centers as it's not really in their scope of practice. psychiatric hospital yes, treatment centers,....not so much, they pretty much just know where they are and go by reputation like everyone else. If I'd not been through this with bff in the months before her death I'd never have dreamed things were set up this way. But most are no matter how utterly stupid it is. Keep searching, ask tons of questions, especially about medications. Remember this is going to be HIS treatment program, he needs it to work for him. ((((hugs)))) [/QUOTE]
