[QUOTE="in a daze, post: 647301, member: 15832"] It's tragic and heartbreaking. But life goes on. He was moved to the basement because they had been complaining that his room smelled. He had been telling me this for the last few months. He doesn't shower or do his laundry consistently. The laundry and showers were getting better for a while but then not, and he says he's been keeping up with it since he was moved to the basement. He was upset about moving to the basement. And if he's doing drugs while we are paying for a sober living environment, I'm really going to be mad at him and at the facility. He just was discharged from Intensive Outpatient last week and I asked his caseworker to follow up about the drug testing but now he's been discharged. He said they were dropping him every time there and I tend to believe him. He likes to take these questionable expensive supplements which he may be spending his money on. I did inform his care team. And the Lyrica is a lower abuse potential than say, Vicodin, which I think is a schedule 2. I don't think he's abusing it. He's only filled it once since the first week in December. It is an off label use for anxiety. It is better than benzos, which have high abuse potential. I haven't heard from him. He hasn't put anything else since on the Express Pay American Express card. I checked this AM. There was only one charge, and that was something my husband bought. I can't help. He has to figure it out himself. I am seeing him Tuesday and taking him to get the results of a job skills evaluation. I will bring him some emergency groceries like peanut butter, ramen noodles, etc. [/QUOTE]
