I back, it so glorious to return. Well the last 4 days have been a whirlwind. On Monday, I was admitted to the hospital in very bad condition, as you can see from my earlier post in this thread my condition was quickly worsening as I was no longer on my meds.
Well I went to the the hospital police escort to an ambulance, and quite literally hearing voices and very much out of it.
I was placed on a 3 day hold detoxed medically and got to spend some awesome time with some wonderful people at the mental hospital. After I settled down, I found that I enjoyed it. I actually liked being inside, nothing to worry about no place to go only groups, therapy and meds. Oh yeah, and some pretty awesome food, because medicaid has a deal with a pretty swanky mental hospital here in Reno. We're talking fine dining every meal.
Got discharged today, with meds of course and most important I am on anabuse, with pretty strict orders to make sure I push for inpatient. If not, I could very easily be remanded back to the hospital which I came.
I am actually, glad this happened this way. I want to do inpatient now, if inpatient was like this stay then I would like to be there. My last couple of days were bad at times, but it was nice to be cared for in a controlled setting with lots of classes and activities and a supporting environment. Thought I would update you all Happy Thanks giving. Thank you all for the support!

Happy Thanksgiving, Jeremy! (((HUGS)))
One of the things I wanted to tell you before is that when I was inpatient, I loved it. No responsibilities except to work on myself. Go to groups, meetings, eat well. I didn't want to leave. In fact, I begged to stay an extra day and my insurance allowed it. It is so comforting to have someone else looking out for our well being...very relaxing. Not at all what I feared it would be.

Glad to hear you are OK TDG. Was the hospital involved in setting up arrangement to get you admitted to inpatient? If not I would ask them for assistance...they may have some pull on getting you in more quickly having just treated you. Getting that treatment has to be your absolute goal above and beyond anyting else right now.

I was reffered directly to Northern Nevada Adult Mental Health for inpatient and given an appointment Dec 3rd to discuss inpatient with them for alcohol abuse. That was the quickest referal I got as far as inpatient.
I actually asked this hospital if i could just stay for alcohol abuse. I know they treat it, however; Medicaid only has a contract for mental issues with them. I was disappointed by this, but what can you do.

glad you are okay J,
I am a bit concerned that this hospital just discharged you and let you to your own devices, perhaps they don't know the whole story? It just doesn't sound right they would pat you on the back, say good luck and thanks for playing our game.
I hope you can get into a rehab facility - like today. I would just pack a bag and camp out in the lobby of the rehab like a homeless person...
You cannot delay this. It has to be you number one priority! If you spend 3 days at home that's too many.
