[QUOTE="maril, post: 346718, member: 5937"] Agree that if he would be in a facility, your family will have a chance to research options and think more clearly without the chaos. I understand how devastating it is to hear talk of suicide, as my son had threatened the same over a period of time. If it helps, we did find that prior to admission and then once he was safely in alcohol and drug inpatient treatment, backup from involved professionals helped us to deal with that fear. It is at the very least frightening to deal with all of this on your own and it sounds like you are a prisoner in your own home; a terrible way to live, I know. I also agree with the comments about treating the substance abuse problem first. My son has recently fallen back to using and can't continue with Abilify if he continues to use (booze and Abilify don't mix); practitioner suggests he go back into D&A treatment. We'll see what happens. Good luck to you. :peaceful: [/QUOTE]
