[QUOTE="ksm, post: 763420, member: 12511"] New Leaf, and others who responded. I tried to respond yesterday from my phone, but my post was lost. I usually use my tablet. We will see what happens today. She basically went missing for a couple days. But she returned yesterday evening and said she will call our insurance today. Yesterday I called the local substance abuse assessment center to get information. Unfortunately I can see why it's so difficult to get help in our area. They require $150 fee to do an assessment and get referrals for treatment. So even though the treatment might be covered by insurance the fee isn't. It's not that we can't afford that it's just an unnecessary blockage for many people to get help. I called our insurance and if she will call them they will refer her to a clinician who will do an assessment over the phone, make recommendations for treatment, and tell her what options are available in our state that is covered by our policy. It might be residential or intensive outpatient. I think she needs residential to have a better chance of having good results. But it's out of my hands. I hope to post an update soon. I know she won't want to go and miss Christmas with her son, but I think she needs to be away from this community and people she knows here. Since she does not currently have a job...the sooner the better. Praying that she gets the help she needs. [/QUOTE]
