[QUOTE="bluebell, post: 739844, member: 16761"] I've had the same experience. My son was denied admittance to the only rehab with beds that my insurance covered. The insurance 'care coordinator' quit returning my calls. My son saw it as another failure in our parenting in him that we couldn't get him help. It was a nightmare. Also, he was in a behavioral hospital for threatening his life when he was 17 and they only covered 7 days. Our 'safety plan' was to lock up our knives. We were devastated. Most places around here have closed their inpatient facilities and are going to IOP which is readily covered by insurance, but usually with a hefty copay for each session. I don't know how old your son is or the situation, but if he's serious you may look into that as an option. Especially if your son is motivated. Although I couldn't really understand the difference between AA and Celebrate Recovery meetings that are free or IOP. But my son only went once. I will consider the faith based option that RN's mentions if he ever expresses a desire for recovery again. Good luck with all of this. I hope it all works out. I think you are right to stay positive. My son picked up on my anxiety and frustration and while I'm not taking the blame for anything, I know it didn't help him at all. [/QUOTE]
