[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 606667, member: 1967"] Oh, comaheart, I am so sorry. You are right . . . that is a game changer. He needs immediate mental health care and a dual diagnosis program that specializes in both addiction and mental health. My daughter had several suicide attempts although we always called them manipulative suicide attempts because they were done in front of us. On the last attempt (taking pills), she was admitted against her will and then transferred to a psychiatric hospital where she stayed for three days. I would insist on talking with a psychiatrist and asking him to admit your son to a psychiatric facility for at least a few days until they can figure out what is going on. It may even be an automatic admission to a psychiatric facility. But, if they release him from the ER, I would drive him straight to the nearest psychiatric hospital and tell them he had just attempted to kill himself and he has substance abuse issue. We did that when our daughter was still a minor and they did keep her for a few days. {{{Hugs}}} ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
