drug rehab

My wife and I have a friend that has a serious drug problem. We have told his spouse that we will try and help them but they need to go seek professional help. Can any one give me some names of rehab sites in eastern PA or north eastern Md Area
They are from the Delaware area and also have no medical insurance I would appreciate any help

Check with your local Mental Health facility. I believe the newest trend and perhaps the most successful is to have an Intervention done. They can direct you. I am not familiar with your area but google it or check the phone book. Good luck and God bless all of you

The facility listed below will do intake and assessment. After they determine his medically stability, they should be able to place him in a rehab facility based on bed availability, counciling needs, etc.

There But For The Grace Of God . . .

Several times each summer we drive right by 1 in southern Delaware on our way to & from Rehoboth Beach.

Every time we cruise past, scrupulously obeying the 25-mph speed limit through town, I am extremely grateful to be on the outside driving past instead of being on the inside.

Drug addiction & alcoholism are an extremely odd disease that tells the person who has the disease that the person doesn't have a disease. That makes it even more difficult than it already is for the person with the disease to want any help toward recovery.

Help is readily available. But unless the person with the disease wants help, no "help" will do the person any good.

George Carlin, speaking of his own experience, says the main thing that cocaine does -- even before getting him high, even before any euphoria sets in, even before there is any kind of rush -- the main thing it does is make him want more cocaine. I am pretty sure that's what happens also with lots & lots of other addictive substances too, not excluding cigarettes & coffee.

Good luck to you & your friend, & to your families. I hope your addicted friend gets his life back.
