Are There Low Costs or No Costs Long Term Residential Treatment Centers for Drug and Alcohol Addictions?
Question by john_morlock2001: Are there low costs or no costs long term residential treatment centers for drug and alcohol addictions?
Friends of mine have an adult child who has already been through short term drug and alcohol rehab (2 weeks to 30 days) treatments, only to relapse. He needs longer term treatment to address the psychological problems associated with addiction; but like millions of other Americans he has no insurance.
Is anyone aware of any long term treatment centers that may help him?

Yes, there are but there is no national program that sponsors them.
Get the parents to Al-Anon. They will meet parents and other family members with the same problem and can find the low cost alternatives in your area.
If that doesn’t work, go to an open AA meeting and ask for help from a sober alcoholic.

Having just had a loved one go through this I know it can be incredibly tough. I do know that there are programs in Southern California that are long term – I believe that one is called Sobriety House in Orange County – that are truly not for profit and really do have long term – a year or so – and are very strict. You have to take the MMPI (Minnasota Multiphasic Personality Inventory) and go through significant testing first, but it is free. The other thing is that – and this is really sad – court ordered drug treatment is usually done at no cost. If this person hits bottom and ends up in the system they may be in a better position to get help. The family can’t save him if he won’t help himself. I would also call the county to ask about resources. Good luck, I know that it can be incredibly tough.
