How to Find Addiction Treatment For Your Son or Daughter If You Don’t Have Insurance Your entire family is thrown into a crisis when your son or daughter needs treatment for drug or alcohol addiction. And that crisis is magnified if you don’t have the money or insurance to get help. Although it may take work and patience finding affordable treatment for your son or daughter, it is possible. We've outlined 6 steps you can take to help you find low cost or free treatment options. Here's the first: 1. Research Your Options Learn about the treatment options available. Does your child need inpatient or outpatient services? (Inpatient programs are those where you’re required to live at the treatment facility for the duration of the program, while outpatient treatment allows you to receive treatment during the day and go home at night.) Determining which treatment option is the best fit for your son or daughter will help you narrow down your search. Use the National Database One way to find treatment programs is through Substance Abuse & Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) national treatment locator, which provides referrals for local treatment facilities, support groups and community-based organizations. You can find providers who offer payment assistance or treatment on a sliding scale. Click on your state and enter your zip code to find providers near your area. Find and click on the select servicesbutton and then narrow down your search by looking for providers offering a sliding fee scale or payment assistance. You’ll need to contact each provider by phone to inquire about services (more about this in step 2). Research State Programs Most states, cities and even counties offer inpatient and outpatient alcohol and drug treatment centers that are tax-supported and free of charge. These programs range from short-term detox centers to long-term inpatient treatment centers to individual outpatient counseling. SAMHSA also maintains a Directory of Single State Agencies (PDF) for substance abuse services that makes it easier for you to determine who to contact. Look into Programs offered by Religious Groups Faith-based drug and alcohol treatment has been around longer than any professional treatment centers or 12 step programs. Examples of drug addiction treatment centers offered by religious organizations include The Salvation Army, Goodwill, YMCA, and dozens of Christian recovery programs like Catholic Charities. Nearly every community offers a faith-based drug addiction treatment center and these programs are almost always free. Look into Rehab Scholarships Rehab scholarships are very similar to an educational scholarship, in that they are third-party programs that provide funding for individuals seeking help from free residential centers. Scholarship organizations primarily focus on helping three types of people: Individuals without medical insurance, those who are not able to pay for rehab out of pocket and people who are unable to qualify for a loan because of bad credit. There are many organizations in the U.S. offering rehab scholarships right now, from Second Chance to SAMHSA. Beware of Predatory Practices & Unethical Organizations Unfortunately, many treatment centers put profit before patient care. Be careful when using a search engine to find treatment, especially using keywords like “free,” as there are several unethical organizations out there who will promise you nearly anything to make money off of you and your child. Read up on advice given to parents about how to steer clear of these predatory practices.

11-2-17 TWELVE STEPPING WITH SUPPORT FROM SCRIPTURE

Psalm 34 v 2 -I will boast only in the Lord; let all who are helpless take heart.

Step 3 -Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God.

Helpless is where you need to be! God cant help if you are the one still trying to help yourself. Life was never meant for you to live alone and separate from your Creator. God like a loving father patiently awaits for you to sincerely seek him and ask Him to help you with life.Gods heart breaks everytime you struggle and suffer! Helplessness and brokenness lead to surrender and that my friend is where we discover God and our desperate need for him.Give Him control and watch Him work. He wants so much to be a part of your life as a Father, Friend, and guide.

Philippians 4:6-7

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

Later this month a new group of hurting and broken young men and women will arrive here at His Mansion. November 2017 Newsletter  A father's story...        No one said parenting or pastoring would be easy, but then no one said parenting would be as difficult and gut wrenching as it is.  Yet, as a minister of the Gospel, I discovered that the difficulties of these could combine in circumstances that would test my faith to the extreme.      The problem manifested itself shortly after our son, the model child, went off to college.  Later the signs of his addiction became evident, yet my wife and I overlooked these, being in denial.  Read more Gifts from God's People     Each Christmas season, we have the pleasure of working to create loving and joyful memories where our men and women have previously experienced pain and loneliness.  One way we do this is by providing personalized gifts on Christmas Day.
