[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What happens after they get out? Do drugs help stabilize them?[/quote]

Initial hospitalization is to stabilize. You should have no expectations other than they are not imminently suicidal or homicidal.

The services you might see are:
- inpatient program, voluntary 
- inpatient program, involuntary 
- partial hospitalization
- intensive outpatient 
- outpatient

Choice depends on:
- insurance coverage
- insurance approval
- availability of spots
- your child’s choice

What you as a parent can expect:
- you will get no information unless your child expressly consents
- you have no vote in the outcome
- you might not be informed of your child’s discharge date or where your child goes
- you are only responsible for the bill if you agree to be - but it’s a tough choice to put your kid in financial ruin if you don’t have to at an all time low in their life.

BTDT and in the midst of it for more times than I can remember. It’s tough. Take care of yourself and, if you have other kids, take good care of them too.
