[QUOTE="Andy, post: 455459, member: 5096"] I think I would be very very tempted to cancel the weekend pass. If she really is hallucinating and suicidal, than that is why she is where she is - to get help. Being at home during a period that you are paying for in-patient treatment and having this behavior show itself defeats the concept of inpatient. Ask the staff to build into her treatment plan a timeline (with your approval) that she needs to go without hallucinating and showing suicidal thoughts before she can have a pass. If she is not and is just looking for that over indulgent sympathy card that she is hoping you will play over the weekend to pamper her to no ends because she is so fragile (in her eyes now, I don't think you would but she may think otherwise) than play it now with a "It certainly sounds like you are not ready for an entire weekend pass. I would not be able to keep you safe. Let's give the facility more times to adjust your medications." Is she being introduced to new medications that can be causing this. Maybe staff believe that a switch in the medication will have her o.k. by the weekend? [/QUOTE]
