[QUOTE="klmno, post: 219442, member: 3699"] It isn't that simple Mom to 3, but I really do appreciate your concern. difficult child is in bed right now- he was calm after about 45 mins of me leaving him alone, so there is no physical threat at this point. The only way to get him into a psychiatric hospital is if I show up with him at an ER and the evaluating psychiatrist determines that difficult child is an immenent threat to himself or others. difficult child has been in there before- twice, each for about 1 week. His regular psychiatrist WILL NOT admit him. Calling police will not get him there, although by standards written on paper they would, the reality is that they won't. Calling a hospital and saying I think he needs to be there will not get him admitted. I know you're trying to help, and I'm sincerely not trying to shoot this down, but I first went through it almost 3 years ago and it took me a month or so to figure out how things work around here. Anyway, even if he got into a psychiatric hospital, they would only keep him about a week (it's all my insurance pays for), unless I got him into the state psychiatric hospital- which is for violent (very violent) mentally ill and instead of them helping, the kid gets lost in the system for ages. The PO tried to get difficult child there when I took him to the ER this past spring. I found a way around it and got difficult child into the local private psychiatric hospital. But, the psychiatric hospital will write a treatment plan to implement upon discharge. It doesn't matter what they recommend- they recommended the very thing I'm still trying to get 2 1/2 years ago- the public agencies will not approve it without going through "their" processes. Their processes are what I wrote about in the other thread and I'm still researching. You've been a big help, so I sure don't want to shoot down your ideas- especially when I know you're trying to push for an answer. I'm physically ok though, difficult child does these things when he isn't stable- every few mos. You probably haven't followed my other threads completely, but he's had big medication changes lately and he clearly isn't stable. I could get him out of the house if I called 911, but the whole thing would land him in the state Department of Juvenile Justice detention for a very long time- with no mental health care. Since I know that it isn't all difficult child's fault that he isn't stable, I still want to advocate for him. I just think he should be living someplace else for a little while, during the first part of this. Thank you, though, so much for caring!!! [/QUOTE]
