[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 568203, member: 13542"] Hi BKS, since he is likely bipolar and ADHD, you might try doing some research into NAMI (National Alliance for Mental Illness) You can access them online and find a chapter in your area. Here in No. CA. there is an offshoot of NAMI called Buckelew, run by folks who've had to deal with how to get help for mentally ill folks within the system. They are amazing. They help get through the system and find housing, get on food stamps, find medical insurance, they educate, find schooling, do classes on smoking cessation, find therapists, groups, it's remarkable. If your son is on his own and has no money he will qualify for some kind of assistance, but someone has to do the research and dig around looking. NAMI may be able to point you in the right direction. They also provide groups for parents to attend for support. I have no information about substance abuse facilities, you might want to post your inquiry in SA here on the board, those folks are well versed in the ins and outs of substance abuse and where to go. (((HUGS)))) Good luck. [/QUOTE]
