I am so sorry for your loss. Addiction is a beast, as you know. I hope you do take care of yourself and know that the only thing you can do for Andrew is to support him and encourage him to maybe attend 12 step meetings or go into a rehab. It took a long time for me to realize that it was going to kill me, but I am proof that one can live sober. As far as the ridiculous and tragic NON action of emergency services, maybe call the state's department of mental health and substance abuse as well as the state's human services. Ask to speak to the Commissioners and I would also write letters describing the events. I don't know if you have a local news that you could reach out to as well. The state would not want media attention to this kind of negligence. In the meantime, please take care of yourself the best way you can. You have support here. Thank you for posting and I am sending positive thoughts and hope you can find some kind of peace through all of this.
