My bf is a herion addict and he deperately needs help. He wants to get off but can’ t do it by himself. He needs to go to an intensive detox and rehab program. He doesn’t have the money or insurance though. Are there any facilities that take people on a “charity” basis? Or does the government set aside so mcuh money for cases like this? He is only 30 and has his whole future ahead of him. He knows he was an idiot to start doing it now. The important thing is that he wants the help and he wants to get clean. Any info. greatly apprectiated!


There are programs offered for free or reduced prices.I suggest going to his primary physician and seeking a referral.Good Luck.
Probably the easiest way to find out is call up a drug rehab centre and ask them what programs are available for your situation or if they know of any free programs. Also you could contact Narcotics Anonymous to ask the same thing. Even go to the emergency room of the hospital and ask for any referrals to drug hab centres. There probably is some free help available, but you will have to go looking for it.
