[QUOTE="StillStanding, post: 717371, member: 21300"] LBL I'm also in Canada. I'm sorry any of us are here. But, it is helpful to hear from more Canadians just because the services and laws are different. I love our country and it's health care. But, I think it is damaged when it comes to mental health and addiction treatment. My son has been on the waiting list for inpatient so many times I've lost count. I believe he desperately wants help in the moment but 3 months later when the spot comes up he's spiraling again. I considered paying the $40k it would take for him to be able to go on a moments notice the next time he says he's ready. I would have to remortgage my house. The problem, of course, is that it probably won't work. I would pay any price for my son to have his life back but I don't want to burn money for someone who can't help themselves. I hope the waitlist and your son are ready at the same time. [/QUOTE]
