Received a call from the assessment in take counselor.  T's case went before their committee for  review and they recommended a lock down facility.  Their treatment center doesn't offer lock down.  I am not surprised at all.  If they would have said differently I would have not trusted their judgement.  I was expecting it.  Not many places around here for adolescents.  If I don't find a temporary lock down treatment center soon, T will have to go to jail.  That where he says he wants to go....... sigh.....

My 16yr old son is in a county jail at this time, waiting for a bed in an adolescent addiction treatment program. My heart goes out to you, this is the hardest thing I have ever had to deal with. Good Luck!!
