Veterans Psychiatric Time Line with Links

TIME LINE: Carl G. Mueller, Nam 68

August 3, 2007 to August 10, 2007. Psychiatric lock down unit because of suicidal thoughts.
August 3, 2007. It was suggested to me by my primary care Dr. Huang / Module 4 that I speak with Dr(s) about being admitted to 2 NE in the psychiatric lock down unit because of suicidal thoughts. I was admitted and stayed there till August 10, 2007.

August 10, 2007 to September 7, 2007. “Responsibilities Group”
During my stay at the lock down unit it was suggested to me by a Dr. I know only as Richard, that I should attended the “Responsibilities Group”. A 28-day live in program at a house away from the hospital which was called Harris House. I was to attend 5 full days of drug therapy at the hospital in what was called “Responsibilities Group” I had not drunk or used drugs in the past 3 years except marijuana about 5 times during the months of March and April 2007. I assumed the hospital did not have a suicidal program only a drug addiction program so I agreed to this Responsibilities Group. Knowing the complete hospital and living program was about 9 months long.

September 7, 2007 to September 17, 2007. One extra week in “Responsibilities Group” then starts “Problems Group”
I had to stay an extra week in “Responsibilities Group because I needed extra time to memorize some rules. Then I was admitted into “Problems Group”. I also had moved into a different housing area called R4 Housing. R4 Housing and Harris House where both contracted by the VA hospital with a company called Veterans Alcoholic Rehabilitations Program, VARP Inc. Main office, 1100 N. “D” Street, San Bernardino, CA 92401.


The first order of business in “Problems Group” was to have my counselor submit a letter to the Big Bear Courthouse showing my enrolment in the VA drug addiction program.

The second order of business that same time in “Problems Group” was my one week dismissal/kicked out out of “Problems Group” and thus out of the R4 housing. Thus I was in R4 housing 10 days and in “Problems Group” less then one full group meeting. About 20 minutes total.

September 17, 2007 to September 21, 2007, VA psychiatric lock down unit again because of suicidal thoughts.
After getting kicked out of “Problems Group” I went to the VA emergency room and requested to be admitted to 2 NE’s psychiatric lock down unit because of suicidal thoughts. I was admitted and stayed there till September 21, 2007.

October 24, 2007 I applied for Operation Breakthrough in Big Bear Lake, CA.
I was accepted into Operation Breakthrough drug treatment program and attended my first group session on October 26, 2007.

October 29, 2007 I was order by the court to continue Operation Breakthrough program.
