I would not let them take him off medication for an assessment again. I know he's an adult but do they have a mental health court that can require out patient or hospital. Also I would inquire about a case manager through your insurance, yes even medicaid has this for serverlly ill. One of my pdoc wanted me to do that so I'd have someone check my meds and get a house cleaner.

No they are REQUIRING him to get the assessment before they will help with meds. And you have to get down there at 7 am m-f to even start the process. They usually can't see the first day going down, so you have to go down again the day after. Then they will schedule an assessment. That's usually a month out. Then if they determine drug/alcohol treatment you have to do that before they will even get an you an pdoc.
It's a mess.
No he does not think his beliefs off. He's actively delusional about too many things to list. He will not change his meds.
Thanks for your insight.
