[QUOTE="Andy, post: 234979, member: 5096"] I wish that psychiatric hospital staff would make a point of telling parents/guardians of discharge plans before mentioning them to the child. I work at a chemical dependency treatment in-patient facility. It amazes me how parents, siblings, and friends go out of their way to help our patients break the rules. Contraband is a HUGE issue. It also amazes me how adults who smoke in bathrooms really believe they are hiding the fact they just smoked - reminds me of high school students. HELLO! - staff have noses - staff can smell. When I walk onto a unit, I can tell right away if someone has been smoking. We have a non-smoking on grounds policy. Staff are not even suppose to smoke. The psychiatric hospital my difficult child was in would not allow a pass unless staff felt that the child could handle the pass with proper behavior. difficult child had to state a few things that he would work on during the pass (like, listen to mom, tell mom if anxiety rise, ect.) - kind of like a contract of behavior. I would then "grade" him on those issues to let the staff know how he did. So, passes were also part of the treatment plan. That dad is harming his son's recovery. This would be the ideal time for the parents to stop enabling. What better support than psychiatric hospital staff to let the child learn to not control his parents. If the parents are afraid of their child (my guess), they will be safe in the psychiatric hospital setting. [/QUOTE]
