Amistad
Che Gookin:
Hmmm... yeah that doesn't sound comforting at all. I wonder what sort of pressure is going to be put on him to stay? A full bed is a paying bed after all. Who is set on him going to La Amistad? Him? Family?
Oscar:
I have mailed the links but I don't know if the mail system works.

This was more or less an intervention by the family. This is not a case of drug abuse. It's mental illness. This has been on going. From a therapeutic boarding school, countless doctors,counselors,and friends. I'm not a fan of this place from what little I've been able to find so far. From what I gather Grandpa's insurance will pay for this place. Coming back home isn't an option at this point.
Che Gookin:
Hmmm... not sure what to say... can you find out if he'll be able to speak to you when he's in there? If so, call him daily, try to make sure the program knows he has people outside who care.
you might try www.mindfreedom.org
They specialize in dealing with mental health facilities like this one if I'm not mistaken. In fact, I'd have your friend give them a call along with the Disabilities Rights people in Florida. Have him ask both of them to advocate for him by keeping Amistad on notice that screwing with him isn't going to go unchallenged.
