Any court-ordered treatment for Al III should begin with some jail time and conclude with at least 12 months of residential treatment where the patient is confined, initially, 24 hours a day to a treatment facility and later to a live-in halfway house. He should undergo urinalysis weekly.
I am not defending this guy but in 1989, when he was about seven years old, he was in a near fatal car accident that put him in the hospital for months. He may well have developed an addiction to pain medication at that time.
After fourteen years you would think dear ol' Daddy would have made sure he was weaned off them awful addictive drugs!
Was dear ol' Daddy or Mommy at the hearing today?
