Thank you for these suggestions. I'll get them ASAP.

I was thinking this morning that he should go inpatient. Paranoia is a big deal and his future is at stake. Even though I could force him inpatient because he's not able to care for himself, I can't do that because I can't risk him losing trust in the two people he trusts most----my husband and I.

So I need to figure out a way to convince him to go inpatient. One big obstacle I anticipate is he is a smoker. Most of the mental hospitals around here don't allow smoking. There has to be one somewhere in the country that does let mental patients smoke.

If I can't locate one, I'll talk with him about partial-hospitalization, where he goes all day for 3 to 5 days per week. I hope he agrees. I'm not going to talk to him about this for about a week. I want to give him time to heal from having his wisdom teeth out, get all my ducks in a row as far as treatment options are available, and talk with his father about how to go about an intervention.
