[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know the "right" answer was to leave her but I couldn't. She takes a daily medication she will withdraw from if she doesn't get her dose today and the consequences that come now are bad enough. I just wanted her out so she could start figuring her shit out. [/quote]

Sadly the only "shit" she is going to figure out is how to get her next drink.

And they will give inmates medication in jail. Every day if they need it. Local Jail isn't prison. Sure it's not a good place but it's not like those super max documentaries or even orange is the new black.[/quote]

You are incorrect.

I know for a fact that Arl. Co. jail will NOT administer certain meds whether prescribed or not, so you cannot assume they or any jail will.[/quote]

Really?  On what basis?  That sounds like a possible ADA violation and/or a medical liability suit waiting to happen.  I can understand not administering w/o checking with doctor.  What deigs, specifically, do they refuse to administer even without prescription?[/quote]

It doesn't matter - many, many people get sent to jail and/or prison and die from a preventable medical cause due to negligence.  Google it.  Sure, people sue, the county quietly settles, and then it happens again.

OP - I hope you can live with yourself when your mother kills herself and/or someone else.  STOP bailing her out.  The anxiety meds are just an excuse.  You ARE an enabler.  Your statement that she won't get the book thrown at her because her last one was in 2001 speaks VOLUMES.[/quote]
