Good mental health placement for 14 year

I am a grandmother of a very sick 14 year old boy. His mother gave him to me at 9 months and occasionally comes in and out of his life. She is a heroin addict supposedly recovering. Recently she put methadon in his coca cola.He presently is in Hampton Hospital waiting for a clinical placement (longer term). They told me 6 months and he is getting upset to have to wait that long. We have family care state insurance. If anyone has the capacity to pull strings and get him the proper help that he needs that would be awesome.That is my Wish. He is a very articulate boyand a great writer but cannot see the forest through the trees. Please help me get the proper care for him. If you have any medical connections maybe you know of a good place for an adolescent who needs Dual Diagnosis treatment..

I have to get my grandson to admit to a judge that she did it and he is protecting her at this time.I will not give up . She belongs in jail. thank u all for your prayers.
