[QUOTE="Christy, post: 179836, member: 225"] The first time my son was admitted, We took him directly to the psychiatric hospital with a two week log of dangerous behaviors. Our insurance was okay with this but some insurances will admit through the ER. The second time he had an incident at the tdocs and therapist filled out a petition for a mental health evaluation at the ER. We waited from 11:30 until 9:30 for this to happen and then because our insurance does not do after hours psychiatric hospital admitting, we had to spend the night in the ER psch ward (they did not keep children there without a guardian so we both spent the night). Given the choice, and especially if he is not exhibiting the behaviors at that moment, try to deal directly with the psychiatric hospital if your insurance allows it. Also, as MM said, don't expect miracles. They will probably try a medication adjustment and depending on how long your difficult child is approved to stay, they may get a chance to monitor how the change is going. Good Luck Christy [/QUOTE]
