I received a text from my 19 year old son this morning that he was at the hospital seeking mental health treatment. He said he was ok and wanted to handle it on his own and please let him. He texted a few hours later to say he loved us and that he was being admitted inpatient to the mental health hospital. This comes after a rocky three months where he has been directionless and impulsive. He said they were taking his phone and he would update when he could. Of course, because he is 19 I am unable to get any more information. I guess buried in all my terror of what is going on, I feel thankful that he is reaching out for help. I just have to sit and wait and see what next. I tell myself that he is safe although I am sick with what could have gotten him there. I guess I am posting to ask if anyone knows what i might expect? Like how long would he stay, does he need change of clothes(toiletries,etc?), should I be calling a long term rehab and get on their waiting list(assuming they have one).
