Rehab: how do you go

[IronNeonClasp]

Please could someone explain how you get into rehab if you aren't wealthy, don't have savings etc? What is the professional route/who makes that decision / can you go down an NHS route.

Asking for a friend

If you are admitted to hospital for something else they will detox you so they can treat you. Afterwards you will be referred to a community support agency.

This is, based on a relatives experience, the only way of getting treatment without waiting months or paying ££££

That's great thanks.

If you go to a drugs service and they think you're deemed an appropriate candidate they will put you forward and you won't cover the costs but , from experience working in this field, you need to be using a few times daily and be motivated enough to quit. Even if they don't deem you suitable they can rehabilitate in the community. They're the best place to go --- hope this helps and good luck! X

Plenty of people get sober through NA and AA without going into rehab.
