[QUOTE="Littleboylost, post: 718188, member: 21895"] My dear dear Copa you speak the truth in every word. I am on my phone and my select quote won't work. Please see my rather lengthy response to Culturana. Re choosing LIMBO. Yes we have chosen this, for the sake of trying one last ditch effor to get our son the help he needs. Re the detox and psychiatric. We took my son into the hospital, and have called 911 psychiatric crisis 5 times. Each time we have called they leave him and say he is fine. He ODd on street Xanax and amphetamines in early June. They had him strapped down and he was violent and incohearant. They wanted to discharge him. We said no way detox. They put him in a bed and let him sign himself out. We have him on a waiting list for an outpatient psychiatric/drug evaluation, the wait for a youth psychiatric/drug detox evaluation is 9-12 months; and he does not qualify for an adult assessment until after his birthday. We know this situation is far from ideal and our system is so so broken. In my humble opinion this boy needs to be mandated to in patient treatment with no ability to sign himself out. That is just not the reality we are in. My husband and I have increased our time in therapy and we are focused on my husband being able to stick with boundaries that we set; he is more challenged with this than I am. We are prepared to let AS go, and this time there will be no return. He he is young but young or not enabling him long term is not the answer. He will know how to seek help and he will need to do it on his own. We will detach with love. No money, no home, no food. He knows where the shelter is, he knows who to access for social assistance, he knows where the food bank is. My husband will need to be strong enough to turn away if he shows up cold and begging. As will I. He will have to sort court out on his own. and he will be facing jail time with his set of second offenses. He will do this time in an adult jail. If he sticks with the long term rehab plan. He is most likely to get a reduced sentence, no jail time and probation. On a final note our government has invested 222 million into funding care for the Opiod crisis. There was a study released that indicates the group of people most needing rehab and psychiatric care are the group 16-25. The study that included multiple provinces also indicated that this is the group that need Car the most. So much for 222 Million. If the youth act is not altered to indicate that you can place your child in to care against their will between the ages of 16-18, this investment won't change a thing for people like me or my son.
