Confidential Drug Rehabilitation

Question by brianna n: We’re in Caldwell, New Jersey and need to find low-cost drug rehab programs. How?
We’re really strapped for cash. My husband got fired from his job because they discovered that he’s using heroin. My income alone will not be enough to get him into a drug rehab. One of my three sons is already working, but he’s already got his own family to feed so I really can’t ask for too much. We have no relatives nearby and I don’t know anyone whom I could turn to for financial assistance. Can anybody give me ideas on how I can put my husband through drug rehab? And please don’t say I need to get a part-time job, because I’m already doing that every spare time I’ve got.

Perhaps your husband can get an outpatient methadone prescription which you will have to keep out of the hands of your three children.

Check to see if it will show up on drug tests. This will buy some time for your husband. He can get a job and save the money for rehab. If he doesn’t want to get a second part-time job, he can maintain the house while you work nights. See if there is a job in your field that will pay more money.

Also see if your other two children can get jobs. They should put their cash in the bank rather than bring it home.

Answer by April
The best type would be in Social Work/Human Services. You can take the courses that would have to do with drug and alcohol rehab. Having your nursing degree might help you out more if you are just wanting to be their nurse. But if you are wanting to do counseling you would need the Social work/Human Services degree.

Question by brigitte 3xc: My dad lives in Port Jervis, New York and I need to help him find an alcohol rehab there. How?
My dad already quit alcohol years ago, so it really surprised me that he started again now. I just learned this when he called me up on the phone in the middle of the night and he really sounded drunk. He admitted that he was, and this really scares me. I guess this is because he has recently learned that my mom, whom he divorced years ago, has already found another guy to marry. I feel sad for my dad, and I really would do whatever I can to get him treated in an alcohol rehab. I don’t know how to find one for him, though, as I’m far from his place.

Answer by ciera a
Oh, that’s so sad. Your dad must have been really devastated to hear that your mom’s marrying someone else. But then again, their marriage was over years ago…

As for the alcohol rehabs, I’m pretty sure that the links below will be able to help you. These links contain lists of the alcohol rehabs near your father’s place. You can also call this number: 800-559-9503. It’s a helpline wherein you can ask them questions regarding alcohol addiction and they can also give you recommendations regarding alcohol rehabs. It’s a good thing that you’re there for your dad even though he’s far away.

Question by aisling tu: My sister lives in Blackwood, New Jersey, and I need to find an alcohol rehab for her. How will I do this?
I live far away from her, and what’s worse is that I did not even know she had a problem with her alcohol consumption until her bestfriend called me on the phone to ask for my help. My sister and I are really close, but she deliberately kept her addiction from me. I have already talked to her and I think she’s now willing to get herself treated. Plese tell me how I can find an alcohol rehab in her vicinity.

Answer by deirdre s
You can ask your sister’s best friend to take her to a hospital. That way, she will be getting recommendations and suggestions from the professionals themselves. You can also check out the links that I have included below, or look through the yellow pages. I really hope your sister gets well soon.
