My nephew just got out of detox he has been calling a rehab every 8 hrs.No beds call back.we need help now!?


Hes afraid he will use if he doesnt get a bed soon , we have been thru this a month ago hes willing but the only help is outpatient and he admits he doesnt know how long he can last, He is attending meetings has a place to stay right now,
Our family has gotten together to help him he wants it but the state is so slow he has no insurance no job no home . He had it all 8 months ago and a new baby. My sister is at the end of her rope the waiting is killing us. we still have our own familys and jobs to take care of .He is 25 and admits that herion and cocaine has taken over his life. I beleive he will make it but the suffering for the rest of us is endless. We attend weekly support for families of herion addicts also.Its the waiting for the bed in the program. thank you god bless you all......

Hi, sorry to hear about your nephew. I know what you and your family is going through. My husband is clean and sober now for 11 years next month. He is now a drug and alcohol counselor. If you are in Kansas. We know of many places that will take him in a heartbeat. Insurance or no insurance. Let us know what state you are in and my husband will make some calls for you. Best wishes to you and your family.

sept 21,2006 My nephew has finally gotten the bed, He didnt stay clean, but he still made his phone calls to rehab. Hes going thru detox now and the he will have a one year commitment. Its a state program one of the best. Thanx all, god bless . Report It

im a herion recovery,sober for 4yrs after 8 yrs of killing my fam,and life ,he can do it!! if ur in chgo,ill theirs lots of hosp,detox and places but i need info!

Try calling Healthcare for the Homeless if they have a clinic or office in/near your city. They have lots of inpatient and residential programs and if they don't have beds, they will be able to find him one. Where does he live? (what city)

Let him do the out patient program( its the best thing) they will probably give him methadone, wich is the best thing to treat him with right know. A herion addict can not detox on his own without it, and a rehab program usually tries to detox in about 12 days or so THIS IS NOT ENOGHT TIME he may need to be on the methadone for up to a year or so and slowly come down off of it. Out patint programs are the best usaually he can go to a clinic that will go on a sliding scale of incom may only cost 15 dollars a week or so and will provide him with counseling and other medical treatment such as immunizations and blood work.
My brother has had much succes this wayhe is clean now for five years GOOD LUCK!
