cinder, so sorry, yeah it does like they're using, you're lucky though to be in a state where you can have them committed in PA you can only get a 72 hr hold IF they are suicidial (sp) , then they only commit them if they find them to be truly suicidial, i tried it once thinking he get a few days clean and agree to rehab, yeah right, he was more pissed that i interrupted his high and then even after he threatened me in front the er staff, the LET HIM GO HOME that same night, in fact the one nurse who witnessed the whole thing, called me and asked me to give him a ride home since it was cold out. AHHHHH!!!! i hope everything works out much better for you.
