Free Rehab?
I've heard there are rehab facilities
that are free of charge, but it sounds too good to be
true. My brother has been a meth addict for 7 years, was
arrested just last week, and my family and I are out of
resources. He's looking at 4-20 years b/c he is on
probation in another county, etc. I'm all for him
serving his time, but he desperately needs to be in
rehab. Can anyone verify what I've heard, and if so,
where are these places? |

Treatment for
meth addiction
Yes, there are plenty of "free"
rehabs all over the country.
Let me qualify that, they are often free to the client,
but someone has to pay the bills, and that someone is
the govt.
Here's the deal, It costs seven to twenty-three times
more
to keep an addict incarcerated, than it does to treat
them for chemical dependency. Therefore, it is very cost
effective to provide "free" treatment.
(Rand Corporation Study on the Cost Effectiveness of
Drug Treatment)

Jail costs seven to twenty-three times as much as
treatment.
If you click on the link below, you will see many
thousands of treatment facilities. Most of them are
free. Very often people click those links and say, "I
had no idea there were so many treatment programs."
Or words to that effect.
Your local detox center, or drug rehab doesn't
advertise.
If you need more help or info, please ask.
