[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 707039, member: 18958"] ksm. What about drug testing, and depending about the result advocating for her to go to a detox facility and entering into a residential treatment facility? In some ways this is an opportunity. Because she is still underage you have a great deal of control that the rest of us lack. My own son's issues occurred after he was 18 and I could not make decisions for him. But he has several times gone to residential treatment under my insurance. It is not difficult to secure entry. They need be only referred by a psychiatrist. You can ask your internist/family doctor/pediatrician to refer her for a drug test at a laboratory. You do not even have to tell her what it is for, I do not think. If it turns out she might be bipolar they may need a comprehensive blood test, in order to medicate her. I would ask the physician to refer her for a multi panel drug test as well as a CBC, a complete blood panel. I would then go armed with this to the psychiatrist. Good luck today. [/QUOTE]
