The addiction is real and hard to overcome. I have a loved one who tried to od last week. We were in the ICU and once they were able to speak and decline any further treatment, we left! I tried to keep telling the staff please dont release and please tell the mental health people to hurry and assess so we can admit. But I was told the MH had 24 hours to come and the hospital cant force treatment. Are you kidding me? A bottle of muscle relaxers taken for the purpose of death is not a person who should have the choice to choose for themselves!!!! The system is broken! My loved one is addicted to opioids and feels helpless at times. This story is SO SAD and unfortunately will not be the last one until we find a system that works. May God grant the family peace and comfort in knowing Megan is no longer suffering. I feel so bad for the frustration it leaves for the ones left behind. Prayers for all.
