[QUOTE="comatheart, post: 661348, member: 16859"] I haven't updated in far too long. I actually had to go back and see where i left things off... my 19yr old son was living in the homeless shelter. Well, in April he was accepted into a program that is very difficult to get into for adults with severe mental illness and addiction. Its called PACT and they provide medication management, nurses, counselors, case manager 24/7. Whatever they need to stay out of the hospitsl/rehab. They go to him, so skipping appts is not a concern. He was also put into an apartment. It cost us nothing (run by the state) even the apartment. The program has been such a blessing, allowing us to step back and let someone else oversee him. Turns out he is using again and the housing program gave him 3 chances. He was still getting high, so they were preparing to kick him out. He became suicidal and homicidal and so he's currently inpatient in a mental health hospital. When they release him, he has no where to go. I imagine he'll go back to the homeless shelter. My heart is just breaking. [/QUOTE]
