[QUOTE="Cracklin'Rose, post: 373529"] Thanks all for your kind responses. I've calmed down a lot over the last few days and kind of reconciled myself to thinking that the best course of action is just to find a safe place for her (i.e. treatment facility) for as long as she will stay. I just found a couple of good ones covered by our insurance. Here in CA she must consent but once the police pick her up we will give her the option of staying here in CA in treatment voluntarily or being sent to a locked facility in OR. Either way, after she is 18 she will be on her own if she wants to leave treatment. I will make sure to let whichever facility she ends up at know that she is a pro at "fake it 'til you make it" behavior. That way hopefully she will be in treatment until at least until 18, and if they manage to get through to her, maybe even transition to an adult program. Again, I really appreciate all the understanding and good advice from everyone. If you have any tips for working with dual diagnosis facilities and how we can make the best use of her time there, I would love to here from you. Also, just what experiences you have had with them if you want to share. Thanks again. [/QUOTE]
