Why this plan exists

We love you, and separately each of us has been helping without knowing the others were too. When we finally compared notes — Jay, Zack, and Mom — the picture was clear: the money isn't fixing anything, and things are getting harder, not easier. This plan is how we help for real: get home safe, get a medical evaluation, get treatment covered, and rebuild with support instead of loans. Nothing here is punishment. Every step has a purpose and a backup.

What we're standing on (independently known — keep it to these): the borrowed money from three of us; the Aug 1 "send it early / that's the full truth" text; rent going unpaid while rent money was provided; the roommate leaving and the lease exposure; the job loss; the vodka volume we saw at the visit and his own words "I know I drink too much"; The Abbey ~15 years ago; the lithium history and self-stopping meds; no job, no insurance. Do not cite anything else, anyone else's observations, or anything he hasn't told us himself.
Phase 0 · Today — Sat Jul 18

The call & the travel plan

Goal: one honest conversation, one clear agreement — a safe two-day drive home and a medical evaluation on arrival.

Call framing: love + facts + one condition. "We compared notes. We know about the money from all three of us. Nobody's angry — but nothing more moves until you're home and evaluated." Gate the extras on honesty, not the safe trip home — if he stonewalls, the gas + hotel still stand. Do NOT demand he stop drinking before or during the drive: at his level, abrupt stopping can cause seizures. Supervised detox happens at home. He is currently en route to another friend in Pekin — keep the visit short by fixing the departure time ("hotel's booked for tomorrow night in ___").
If the call goes badly

Don't chase, don't argue, don't escalate. Leave the gas/hotel offer open. Wait 12–24h; Jay follows up solo with the same single ask. If he goes dark past a check-in window: contact the friends he's staying with for a welfare check; if there's concern for immediate safety, call 988 (works in any state) or local non-emergency police for a welfare check.

Phase 1 · Sun Jul 19 – Mon Jul 20

The drive home

Goal: Devin arrives in Colorado safely; evaluation happens within 24 hours of arrival.

If he arrives in rough shape / crisis on the road

Immediate danger → 911 (ask for a CIT-trained officer, state it is a mental health crisis). Otherwise: call/text 988, or Colorado Crisis Services 1-844-493-8255. In-person 24/7 free walk-in: Clinica Walk-In Crisis & Addiction Services Center, Louisville CO — no insurance needed, handles withdrawal. Denver Springs also accepts walk-ins around the clock.

If he refuses to leave Illinois

He stays a guest in someone else's home with no money pipeline — that resolves itself quickly. Keep the offer standing, keep check-ins daily, don't fund anything except the trip home. An Illinois admission without Colorado Medicaid is a cash proposition; home is the plan.

Phase 2 · Week of Jul 20–26

Coverage, evaluation, admission

Goal: Medicaid application filed, evaluation done, admitted to a co-occurring program. Family cost target: ~$0 for treatment.

Medicaid notes: UI counts as income (single-adult cutoff ≈ $1,800/mo) — get his weekly benefit amount and exhaustion date; if UI is ending, he's cleanly eligible at exhaustion. Coverage is retroactive up to 3 months, so admission should never wait on approval. Since 2021 Health First Colorado covers detox, residential, inpatient, IOP, and MAT with no copays. Lease: one month of buy-time rent to prevent eviction is defensible; ongoing rent on that unit is not — prefer mutual termination/buyout, and coordinate with the roommate, who also wants a clean exit. Mom will likely get a money call the moment Zack tightens up — brief her early.
If Denver Springs has no bed

Backups (co-occurring, Medicaid-friendly): Peaks Recovery Centers (Colorado Springs & Denver), AspenRidge Recovery (Lakewood / Fort Collins / Colorado Springs). Also: once Medicaid is active, the Regional Accountable Entity (Colorado Access for this county) is obligated to help find placement — call the member line on the card. Statewide finder: ownpath.co. Facilities outside Denver metro (Colorado Springs or north) are acceptable — distance from the old routine is a feature, not a bug.

If he refuses the program

All discretionary money stops that day — calmly, no ultimatum theater. What stays: love, contact, dog care, crisis resources, and the offer. What stops: cash, rent, loans, "one-time" exceptions. Revisit in 48–72 hours; motivation moves fast when the pipeline is closed. If behavior becomes a danger to himself or others, Colorado has emergency evaluation/commitment routes (start with 988 or the county crisis team) — a last resort, but it exists.

Phase 3 · Weeks 2–6 (Aug)

In treatment & logistics cleanup

Goal: stabilization on meds, family engaged in the program, the outside life packed up cleanly.

If he leaves AMA (against medical advice): predefined response, no improvising — no housing or cash outside a treatment-connected setting; crisis lines stay open; the door back in stays open. Also: the crash phase that historically follows the high period is the highest-risk stretch, especially newly sober — keep contact density high in the first weeks after discharge, and make sure the facility's safety planning covers it.
Phase 4 · Day 30+ (Sep onward)

The rebuild

Goal: structure replaces willpower — sober living, outpatient care, verified meds, then work and location by choice.

If relapse happens

Relapse is a signal, not a failure of the plan — the plan already contains the response: back to evaluation (Denver Springs walk-in 24/7), support returns to in-kind only, sober living rules govern housing. Nobody negotiates one-off exceptions alone; decisions go through the weekly family call.

Documents & authorizations

Get signatures during willing moments — have everything printed and ready before you need it.

Lets Zack deal with the landlord, unemployment office, bills, and bank logistics directly. Colorado statutory form via the Colorado Judicial Branch self-help forms: courts.state.co.us/Forms. Notarize (bank/UPS store). Note: revocable by Devin at any time — its value is logistics and transparency, not control.
Names who speaks for him if he can't. Colorado forms & guidance: cdphe.colorado.gov (search "advance directives").
Signed at the facility naming Jay & Zack (Mom optional). This is the family's only reliable visibility into treatment and med adherence. Sign day one — much harder to get later.
Needs: SSN, photo ID, current address, unemployment award letter / benefit amount. co.gov/PEAK · help line 1-800-221-3943.
~15 years ago; call and request records release to the new facility. Speeds intake and informs the med plan.
What worked, what he stopped, and why — the single most useful document for the new psychiatrist.
Confirm: term end date, who is primary, early-termination/buyout clause, roommate obligations.
Determines Medicaid eligibility timing (income counts while UI is active).
An uninsured incident is a financial catastrophe stacked on everything else.
~$100–150/mo; family-paid directly. Belongings safe while housing resolves.

The five money rules

These replace ad-hoc loans. Everyone follows them — including Mom. No exceptions negotiated one-on-one.

  1. One channel. Every request for money goes to Zack. Nobody else says yes to anything, ever, without the group knowing.
  2. Never cash. Support is paid directly to the thing: hotel, gas (staged or prepaid card), storage, facility, sober living, vet.
  3. Support follows treatment. While Devin is engaged in evaluation → treatment → step-down, the family funds the gaps (sober living, storage, dog, transport). If he steps out, discretionary support pauses the same day — calmly — and resumes when he steps back in.
  4. Transparent ledger. Zack keeps a simple running list everyone can see. No secret side loans — that's how this got 3x funded before.
  5. Mom lends nothing further. She's done more than her share. Jay & Zack carry the process; her job is presence, not money.
What treatment should cost the family with Medicaid in place: ~$0 for detox/residential/IOP/psychiatry. Family dollars go only to: staged gas + one hotel (~$200), possibly one month buy-time rent, storage, sober living later (~$500–900/mo), lease closeout. Compare to the recent run rate of $1,000+/mo producing nothing. Future (Anchor) concept staged here deliberately: sponsor-approved spending releases — e.g., a card that only opens for gas or a meal when the sponsor/POA taps approve. Until that exists, rules 1–2 are the manual version of the same control.

Who does what

Devin
The only person who can do the real work: shows up to the evaluation, engages treatment, signs ROIs/POA, takes the meds, makes the month-3 choices. This plan exists to make every one of those steps as easy as possible — and to remove the option of drifting.
Zack — money channel & logistics
All financial requests; hotel/gas staging; property management & lease; storage; ledger; POA agent.
Jay — care navigation & ground support
Medicaid application support; facility pre-calls & backups; records requests; documents prepared; Colorado work stint timed to the discharge window; keeps Mom briefed.
Mom — presence
Love and contact. No loans, no logistics, no guilt. Briefed before Florida so nothing surprises her.
Local friends — Aspen & eyes
Dog care is covered so it never becomes leverage or worry. Friends stay friends, not enforcers.
Providers (once ROIs signed)
Denver Springs team → PHP/IOP team → outpatient psychiatrist. The family coordinates with them, never around them.
Keep this section as written when Devin sees it. Anyone who has been sharing observations with us privately stays out of the story entirely unless they choose otherwise — the plan stands fully on what we knew ourselves.

Team notes — private coordination

Visible to supporters and the advisor (ghost) only — never in Devin's view. Use it for observations, call outcomes, and decisions between weekly calls.

Rescue — do these in order

  1. Immediate danger (to himself or anyone) → 911 — say "mental health crisis," request a CIT-trained officer.
  2. Crisis, not danger → Call/Text 988 or 1-844-493-8255 (Colorado Crisis Services, 24/7).
  3. Get seen in person → Denver Springs, walk-in 24/7: (720) 643-4300 · 8835 American Way, Englewood. Or Clinica Walk-In Crisis Center, Louisville (free, 24/7).
  4. Notify the team → Jay & Zack (numbers on the Contacts tab). Whoever answers first runs point; the other informs Mom if needed.
  5. Afterward → log what happened on the weekly call; adjust the plan, don't abandon it.

Future: this button will trigger staged actions automatically (alerts to the team, location share, sponsor-approved spending releases for gas/meals).
