Youth came to our ED via police on 10/28. Was previously in our IP unit, discharged to Nexus Gerard where he eloped several times. Pt is on a MI/CD commitment. Has substance use struggles ongoing but it’s reported that previous placement thought the MH was the primary concern. Has been denied by many SUD programs- Wings, Anthony Louis, Fairview, Oshki Manidoo and Ember in Iowa. Ideally CM wants pt in a secure setting due to history elopement, but has been denied by only secure setting in MN. Pt is newly 17. Any facility licensed by the DOC can’t be pursued due to commitment, and going out of state the commitment would not follow, so in state would be best.
