Thanks gary they have mentioned methodone as an option already,but when i went to see him this morning he was good.He likes the place, is comfortable and content.They have even mentioned getting him home for a while next week the large dose of amitryptilline he is on seems to have helped any anxiety he was feeling.The biggest problem is the hole in his face,which is creating a foul smell and discomfort in the wound but otherwise it is a nice place to visit.
