[QUOTE="comatheart, post: 607194, member: 16859"] Well, our family session went well. difficult child looked really well, much better than he did on Sunday. His neck has healed a lot in just a couple of days. Of course he started out the gate saying he was sorry, and would change blah, blah, blah... We all pointed out to him that we'd heard it before and yet here we are. When the therapist began to tell him we all felt he needed an inpatient substance abuse program, he flat out shut down. Suddenly the dark cloud reappeared and he was back to the difficult child we've seen the last few months. He is angry. We tried to explain this was for the best, but I'm not sure how much he heard. We did get hugs goodbye, which was nice. So now, we're trying to pick a treatment facility. He will not come home and will go straight there from being discharged at the hospital. I have one reviewing his records and doing a "nurse to nurse" now. ++Fingers crossed they accept him. ++ One of the exclusions on most of the drug treatment facilities we found was "Psychosis" and he has had a couple episodes of that, being Bipolar. I'm not sure if they mean active Psychosis? If that's the case, he'll likely be accepted because he's not having active psychosis at this time. The hospital is keeping him until we make arrangements.
