Today more and more men and women are falling prey to drug and alcohol addiction. Broken family ties, loneliness and stress are forcing more and more people of all ages, sex and social strata to fall victim to drug or alcohol dependency. More worrying still is the fact that the mean age of the victims is falling rapidly with teens and preteens forming an increasingly large percentage of the victim population.
Fortunately, these days there are several alcohol and drug rehab programs that can help victims of drug and alcohol dependency break free of their harmful addiction. These programs are highly sophisticated and you can now find drug and alcohol rehab programs to fit every kind of addiction as well as treatment needs.
Nevertheless, the de-addiction and rehab programs tend to be quite expensive and friends and families of victims are often not able to afford the kind of alcohol and drug rehab that will best help their loved ones. This is why it is important to know about the various kinds of subsidies and aid programs available to fund the de-addiction and rehab treatments.
Government Anti-drug programs
The government has started several initiatives, both local as well as federal, to combat the spread of drugs and alcohol addiction. One of the best ways to find out about these programs is to call your local drug or alcohol dependency helpline and ask about suitable funding programs. Be sure to mention any special category that might help you get better aid (single motherhood for example). You can also consult your local anti-drug and alcohol NGO organizations about potential funding sources.
However, before you can apply for these programs, you will need to have the appropriate paperwork completed. The staff of the helpline or local ant-addiction organizations can help with these.
Church funding for drug rehab
Many religious organizations and churches also offer funding for de-addiction and rehabilitation programs. You can always visit your pastor or the head of the local branch of your congregation to ask about specific programs that are available.
Even if there are no specific programs as such, most congregations may be able to support your monetarily or otherwise with the support of the members.
Last but not the least, there are several loan programs that are specifically aimed at funding medical expenses. Look for one that covers de-addiction treatment for manageable credit advances.
We look forward to meeting you and helping you achieve your goals regarding getting and staying sober. We hope you will enjoy reading some of our thoughts on treatment and recovery in our drug rehab and alcohol rehab blog.
