Are There Any Free Programs in the US for Drug Addiction?
Question by ol’ hippy girl: Are there any free programs in the US for drug addiction?
We are looking for a good program for our daughter- Oxycontin addiction. She has been in and out of rehab…to suboxene treatment centers. She has done all but completely break us financially.
We can’t afford another rehab- since she’s over 18 -are there any programs SHE could check into without us getting involved with the money end?
