When are his visitation times? I might go and try to see him if you can.

Find out why they are limiting his calls, though they may not tell you, being not a family member, he may be having a ward where they are not allowing calls as often. He also may being medicated if he is having outbursts that are deemed violent or if he is in group during the day.

peace,

Several times. Most only helped the first few days. Then it was very intrusive. I have sensory issues so it was terrible.

Drugs were pushed a lot, even ones the docs knew where not helpful. Only way for insurance to pay if there is a drug involved!

I like the idea of going on vacation. It is much more helpful. I have done that, too. Left and stayed with a friend a few days helped. And so did starting school classes, even one. And starting a new job even if I knew I had to quit. Starting a new project, and staying busy.

It helped somewhat to go IP sometimes, but mostly not.
