> Pat, thank you for responding. He first came home in this condition a couple of weeks ago and was given Seroquel in the emergency room. He was not admitted to a facility because he has no insurance, so we followed up with our own doc. So far we have recieved over $2500 in bills from the emergency room people. The system is a nightmare.
>If he qualifies himself, he might get money from the hospital's free-care pool. And call up the rehabs in the area and see if they offer out-patient services. ER assistance is best avoided, because it's so expensive. Medicaid I'm sure covers addiction... have him see a psychiatrist with an addiction specialty, there's plenty of those. The doc I'm seeing this week for the first time is one (I'm not seeing him for that).
