no money, want rehab - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

08-04-2001, 01:16 AM

I just wanna die. I have no job, no money and I think it is unfair to kill myself and leave baggage behind. Are there any programs in the USA that will accept an unemployed suicidal person?

Thanks for your time,
Steve

Steve, there are hundreds of programs. Please reply with your general location (county and state) so that we can provide some referrals...

Steve, FIRST-if you are still feeling suicidal it is imperative that you go to your nearest emergency room or call 911. It does not matter if you have money or a job, the ER is required by law to help you and to provide you with low and no-cost referrals. I would recommend that you go to Loma Linda hospital as they have a very good mental health program. Do that NOW, and let us know what happened...

Be well, and have a great 24...

I quit drinking cold turkey yesterday and will see my doctor tomorrow. I will ask him what my options are. I do have HMO coverage but their mental health coverage is very limited. I think I will survive until tomorrow even though I want to drink again. I have to get sober first and go from there.

Wish me luck and thanks for the support,
Steve

Hi,

I wish to thank everyone for their replies to my posting(s). I am currently seeing a doctor for my condition and I think that I am in good hands right now. I have quit self-medicating with alcohol and am considering starting on ADs.

Thanks for your concern.
Steve
