[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 728447, member: 18958"] Hi Laker To me it is encouraging he believes he is on a spiritual journey. I know it is scary. But mental health and psychiatry are not necessarily a cure all. Often psychiatric medications mask symptoms and are at best only one way to go, I believe. But I know how scary is homelessness. I asked about drugs to see if a sober living house might be an option . My son is dependent on marijuana. He is mentally ill. We kicked him out of a home we own because of his ongoing and heavy use, and non-productivity. Thankfully he had sought out drug treatment and his counselor recommended him to the sober living. While he pays because he is on social security more than half the guys do not pay either rent or for food. If they are able they do volunteer work or go to school. My son had been homeless or couch surfing for 6 years. He has had multiple hospitalizations. Even ill they especially need to find their own solutions. Believe me. I fought that. I still do. That there are no services in your town makes it imperative you not rescue your boy. I am grateful my son is safely housed.....not with me. He is not liking it where he is. I have to stitch up my lips to keep quiet. Safety, I tell myself is everything. But my son got himself there. So can your son. I am so sorry you are suffering through this. [/QUOTE]
