Detox or Rehabs for Those Without Insurance?

Question by sprggb: Detox or Rehabs for those without insurance?
My younger brother is a heroin addict and is desperate (as is my family) to try to kick the habit. He lives in NH and has no job and no health insurance. We need to find a detox clinic or a rehab that will take him free of charge. Can anyone help???

All I can say is “good luck” we’ve tried that also. I worked and paid for my daughters. My wife supported us while my paycheck, I mean I signed the check and sent it to an attorney who in turn sent it to the courts, to pay for my daughters rehab. from meth. it took four years, she slipped four times and had to start over each time from the beginning. When they put her children in front of her, dangling them, then she came over finally.
I wish I could tell you something different. we went to sleep crying at times, there were times I pushed my dinner away and cried, all my work went down the drain, four years of it. It saved my grandchildren, they’re thankful for it.

Call every rehab and hospital in his area and tell them the situation and ask how to go about getting him treatment. Also call all the local mental and behavioral health agencies.

Also, he should go to NA. The meetings are free and they use the same 12 steps that got me sober several years ago.
