[QUOTE="MissJuneBug, post: 710396, member: 21628"] I know! Makes no sense whatsoever to me. They are willing to take drugs from unknown origins with unknown contents but not prescription drugs. Sometimes I think it's the stigma attached to mental health issues that keeps people from taking their medications. Sorry about that. Intensive Outpatient Program - usually meets 3 times a week for several hours. Group therapy, teaching them life styles, coping skills, getting them on the right medications, etc. Our local program is MWF 8:30 - 12:30. They also do drug testing on all patients. Probably why son is bucking this. We know at a minimum he has been smoking weed recently. As far as disability - we haven't pursued that at all. I have mentioned to son once or twice if he's too tired to work then he needs to go on disability. Hr just rolled his eyes. I think tomorrow will be a pivotal day. Son has an appointment with his therapist - though he never confirmed it, his therapist texted me that the time is blocked for him. Son is telling me it starts 30 minutes later than it is scheduled. Not sure if he is doing that deliberately and is planning on not going by saying he got the times mixed up. I will have his therapist text him in the morning to remind him. ;) It's apparent that he doesn't want to go into the outpatient program. He's been in bed all day. He knows if he doesn't agree to this that husband is going to start enforcing some unpleasant consequences. I will support husband the best I can. I will let him handle it because son knows that I am more likely to cave than his father. Truthfully, son has few choices. None of his friends are living in town these days. He could go back to his college town and maybe sleep on someone's couch but I doubt they would feed him and give him gas money. He is extremely shy and doesn't like to ask people for help - even from friends and family members, so to my thinking, the IOP may be the lesser of the two evils.
