Here is a follow up on my son. Last night he was taken by police again to psych hospital. Earlier in the afternoon, after his appointment with his social worker, he was in a very angry mood. He started hitting the walls again with his fists and head. Apparently he was also texting some of the people from his church group who thought they should call the police. I don't know what was in the texts, but he claimed they weren't about hurting himself.

Whether he still has intentions on hurting himself or not, we now believe, considering the state he's been in for the last two weeks, that he can't go on like this.

We want to get him out of this hospital and into a facility that can do the therapy that he needs as quickly as possible. I have a few questions:

1. Doing a search for facilities, there are so many choices. How do we know where to start? We don't just want to put him into another hospital, but he needs some kind of inpatient therapy. We are in the Orlando area.

2. I'm pretty sure he will listen to us and go. If he refuses, what can we do?

3. His social worker at the hospital tells us he won't talk about anything with her. While at a new facility, will the doctors eventually be able to get him talking an opening up about whats going on?

Thanks for listening.
