[QUOTE="jakiesma, post: 440260, member: 12260"] Thank you so much for replying...and thanks for the {{{{{HUGS}}}}} - I really need them! I got the courts involved. I did an involuntary substance abuse commitment and got a judge to take him into custody for a Residential Treatment Center (RTC) inpatient evaluation. The people at the center (I talk with them daily) say that he is a really polite kid who has given them no trouble at all. We live in a small community - less than 10,000 in the Mid-West and the city police and county sheriff's offices have been amazing. They say the same thing...he gives them no trouble, either. This was our fourth attempt at an inpatient evaluation - two through hospitals...two through the courts...this one final took! I fear our son is going to start stealing to get his drugs, since he already has, and I don't want him to end up in prison. He will be charged as an adult and he needs treatment...not prison. You don't send a person with cancer to jail...you put them in a hospital! Why is it so hard for parents to get the resources they need!? You want to know the real kicker....Our health insurance company is paying all the bills 100 percent...no co-pay, no deductable, no coinsurance. The Health Insurance Company WANTS him to get help! This won't cost the state anything! Seems to me like it should be a done deal. Jakie's Ma [/QUOTE]
