Thank you Laurie. I took my son to meet with his dual diagnosis therapist. She is the one who put a rush on getting him through the process. He is suppose to go to an outpatient program for a few weeks and then a counselor decide if he needs to a treatment center but she got him approved right away. We just needed to wait for a bed to free up which is going to be a week. I wish it were sooner but I'm grateful they bipassed a bunch of red tape in the process considering the circumstance. My son has a serve physical health condition to of his intestines.....drinking for him is so much worse and his stomach has been hurting him so I hope it deters him from drinking. I hope, I hope, I hope. I would prefer not to send him anywhere involuntarily.......we will call ambulance if needed and anything dangerous happens again. If he goes out to drink he will not be allowed back in and he knows this. We just have to get him to that treatment facility and everything will turn around for him. We need to get him away from the horrible crowd he's taken up with. It's unbelievable!!!! He will never get better hanging out with these kinds of people and please keep in mind I'm a pretty understanding and non judgmental kind of person. When my son is healthy, he's such a sweet boy, we have such a good relationship but he keeps sinking further down and further away into something we don't recognize anyway. I've been watching him slowly kill himself and it's been killing me. I'm just so glad that a dual diagnosis facility is available. As his therapist explained and it goes toreason, dual diagnosis is much harder and trickier to treat. My son is just going to "get us off his back" as he says but I hope his eyes will be opened and he will see clearly again soon.
