[QUOTE="buddy, post: 570820, member: 12886"] Oh one more thing .....people here are offering great ideas for assessment and of course much depends on.your insurance, but thankfully we have many options here. Luckily you are now living in a really good county. I too previously lived in the county you came from. This county public health department has much better support. Again, if he is diagnosis. With any mental health condition you can call the county dept of health and human services and they can assign a case manager who can help you find supports and funding to help your son. This can continue if he qualifies through adulthood. Including vocational and housing support. There are sometimes long waiting lists for certain programs but its always worth signing up because our kids continue to grow up and even a seven year wait is worth it if he ends up having a mental health condition that needs ongoing support. And that is NOT to say he wont have a really independent life but the support is "person centered " so designed to help him reach his personal goals. The case management is not income dependent and not associated with cps or anything like that. You are in charge of decisions if he qualifies. : Just in case you do find that he has a mental health condition beyond any possible drug use, and in case it affects his ability to function in life, I thought you might want to know.
