[QUOTE="in a daze, post: 610195, member: 15832"] Quote: She was very intoxicated, but called me and said she would go. She called me 'Mommy'. This is the first time in years she agreed to go for some type of treatment. Within the 1/2 hour wait in the ER, she decided she didn't want to stay, she had to leave, so walked out and said she was going to walk back to her apartment. As she was severely intoxicated, she likely would have collapsed or fell into the street where she would have been run over. I tried to detain her, but she started screaming. She said she was going to call 911- which I encouraged her to do as they could have arrested her for public intoxication. They could have made her go to the community detox (drunk tank). She then did not make the call, but started to scream she was being beaten. The hospital security came outside and said they could not do anything- they can't force her to stay. They said they see this all the time- that 'it is a tough situation'. They offered community service flyer that had rehab places listed. They were very kind there, but said there was nothing anyone could do as long as she refuses treatment. I am so sorry that you are going through this, Only One. I am just amazed that the hospital let an intoxicated person out on their own. It really sounds to me like she met the standard of being a danger to herself, and others if she had the keys to a car.
