[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 96299, member: 1498"] I wouldn't hospitalize a child to do a medication wash unless I had to. Many stay at home mom can provide the care and watchful eye needed to do it better, I believe, than a hospital with rotating staff who don't know the child. The hospital will attempt to do it more quickly than might be beneficial to the hospital under the belief that if anything goes wrong....well, it's a hospital. But that, in my mind, doesn't justify increasing the risk for making the withdrawal process harder. And you can bet the insurance company will push for a quick withdrawal if, indeed, they cover the admission at all. A child going through medication withdrawal may be a very sick child in the physical sense -- even strange behaviors can be the result of physical changes in the brain. If a child gets withdrawal illness it should be remember that s/he is a sick child and given all the consideration that a child ill with any other illness has. That may include not going to school when the child is most symptomatic. [/QUOTE]
