[QUOTE="NurseMia, post: 527511, member: 14464"] Thanks for your reply. Yes your situation sounds very similar to mine. My difficult child was sent back to detention center couple days ago. The judge is allowing him to have his evaluation at a very high rated facility this Friday at 6:30 PM. I am excited to have this happen and very glad it's happening while he's in the detention center instead of going to treatment facility straight from home. I think this gives him greater determination to stop using when he's in a situation that he doesn't like and doesn't want to be in in the future. He is back at the detention center because he posted a video online of him snorting his Zanaflex pill calling it Jacobs pill party. I immediatley notified his probation officer. Then I found a full bottle of Imodium empty and he was also hallucinating from taking some over-the-counter Legatrin PMs that I had forgotten I even had. That is what he does, he looks up OTC pills and checks to see if you can get high off of them. I had bought this bottle of pills three years ago, 75 were in the bottle and only 20 left when we found the bottle. I had maybe taken five, so he took that many in two or three days. That's the scary part. He doesn't even really know what it can do to him and with his other medications, could very easily overdose without even realizing it. I feel guilty, but it's such a relief when he is not in the home.
