[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 276679, member: 2423"] Many police departments have a Crisis Intervention Team, which is trained to handle mental health crises. You might want to call your local police department (routine number) and ask about the options for transporting your difficult child to a mental health facility. Are there any dual-diagnosis (mental illness and substance abuse) facilities in your area? That might be where he needs to go for a full evaluation and initial treatment. Personally, I wouldn't be worrying about school all that much right now. He needs treatment above all else. And any facility that offers treatment should have an academic component. A helpful book to read on the process of selecting a therapeutic program is [I]What Now?[/I] by Paul Case. Case, by the way, says military schools are among the worst to treat kids like this because they don't get at the root cause of the problem. Hang in there. [/QUOTE]
