[QUOTE="Origami, post: 643602, member: 18099"] difficult child did go to rehab the night before last. daughter in law had called around and several places didn't have beds available or had other reasons he couldn't go there, so he was transferred from one hospital to another via ambulance in the wee hours of the morning. I was impressed that he and daughter in law followed through with this despite the problems with getting admitted. He doesn't have private insurance (Medicaid only) so I think that was another issue. He's currently in the Behavioral Health ward at a small hospital and we don't know what kind of treatment he'll receive yet. I think because of New Year's yesterday, they didn't have full staffing. I went with daughter in law to visit him yesterday afternoon. He looked better (not high, anyway) and said he had seen one doctor and was given some kind of medication. daughter in law will visit him tonight and we hope to know more by then. The last day he worked, he talked to his boss about needing some time off, and even told him the reason. daughter in law told me that difficult child decided to just be honest about things. His boss was understanding and told him he had dealt with some similar issues at his age, and to do what he needed to get better. That's a relief, since one of difficult children big concerns was losing his job. Not enough to prevent him from taking heroin in the first place, but whatever. And MWM, I know you've said many times that we usually don't know the extent of our difficult children drug use. You were 100 percent right, as we found out that he had used more than he first admitted to on the night of the OD, and also used a couple of times afterward. He had spent all of his Christmas bonus from work on drugs. We're hopeful now, and at least it's a step in the right direction. [/QUOTE]
