[QUOTE="in a daze, post: 606028, member: 15832"] Given the history of depression and suicidal behavior you may want to seek out a dual diagnosis center. Our experience with the first rehab difficult child attended was that his depression issues were hardly addressed. They did some kind of initial screening on him and decided that he didn't need to be evaluated by the psychiatrist...really? Another one of our mistakes that we made was giving in to his pitiful phone calls and letting him come home instead of going straight to residential aftercare (a halfway house). He relapsed the night after he came home. The second time he was placed in a dual diagnosis center straight from the hospital and went straight to the dual diagnosis halfway house where he has been for over 5 months and has tested clean every time. It may take somehow calling the ambulance when he is nodding off or acting strangely to get him to the hospital, where they can admit him. If he gets admitted, then it's easier to stand your ground and tell him that if he leaves, it's either your way or the streets. That's the way we did it. [/QUOTE]
