narcotics anonymous get in contact with narcotics anonymous - both addicts & friends or family of addicts should join, it is all free. they have weekly meetings in different areas around the country. na believes in the famous and well-proven 12 step program. it is highly recommended to get a sponsor (a fellow addict to call when the craving hits) and support groups for friends & family bares lots of useful information. "the more you know, the better decisions you can make". for more information about them visit the narcotics anonymous website friends & family new to substance abuse friends or family affected by drug use can visit naranon's website if you just found out that a person close to you abuses a substance; don't freak out! if you really want to help there would be no sense in screaming & shouting. for addicts it might be a choice to take use drugs in the beginning, but certainly not later on depending on the drug. once a person is addicted see it as a disease, because that is what it is. you can only control your own actions, and out of love plant seeds and help guide another person, but at the end of the day it's up to them. sadly as for most addicts, they will first have to hit rock bottom before you will get through to them
if you have money you can consider rehabs like stepping stones and various others. but in most cases money is a problem. yes there could've been a lot of money available in variously illegal and scaly ways, but when it comes to rehab or detox that falls away; most medical aids pay for the first detox, medi-clinics offers this service. in other cases when you consider rehab. the state will pay for your detox in certain hospitals if you agree to go to a rehab afterwards. addicts are often to scared to ask for help because of what people might think, but most people might already know, and the ones who don't might have to attend your funeral and find out then. ask as many people as you must to get help, but get moving, the longer you wait the worse it gets. it's as simple as making a choice to get help! |
