Question
My son is addicted to this and we are trying to help him unforutnately my insurance no longer covers him how can we get help from the state?

Answer
I would find a detox center nearest to you that will allow him to admit with payment arrangements.Some places have the luxury of funding but it depends where you live. Can you tell me where you live? I can look up some places closer to you and find out what their criteria is. It depends where you are from as to whether or not you can get help from the state. If you start calling rehab centers and explain your situation they will either be able to help you or will point you in the right direction so that you can get the help you need. Let me know what I can do to help.
