[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 13647, member: 1514"] Well I may consider it if I could find out what services are available in your community. We have some surprisingly good services for drug and alcohol abuse here. Maybe its because it is such a problem. They have a day treatment program just for that where the person goes every day from I think 9 am till 5 pm. I dont know how long the program lasts but it is mandatory for some. They also do an evening thing for some DUI classes. We also have a developmental disability program and a person can qualify for community support if they are severely mentally ill enough to require it. That can include different services such as transportation, help in the home, help in the community, life skills training, and of course there is therapy, adult group homes etc. From some of the posts you have written about your difficult child I have to believe he would qualify for some of these services. I would be calling everyone I could find and see what is out there. I would want as much in place before he breathed one free breath. I would also get him to sign a medical power of attorney so that you can enforce treatment. [/QUOTE]
