Unhappy help i am desperate to get into rehab no way to pay for it

My name is Brittany and I have 5 days sober today and so scared ill go back out again. I would do anything if i could get into a rehab today instead of being scared to shoot up again. I cant take it anymore. I know the waiting lists are 4-6. Weeks long I have to call mon-fri and I honestly don't want to use again I was sober 4 1/2 years until 2010 when I relapsed and since I relapsed thr longest time ive had sober is 5 months and up until last month I got 90 days. I started shouting meth and would rather not be alive if I end up using again. I'm in irvine if anyone knows anywhere that I can getva scholarship I will leavr today if I can get in somewhere. I lost my job my mom is letting be stay at her place until I find a rehab but I'm anxious please help me

Hi Brittany

The Salvation Army runs some free rehab programmes. You'll have to contact them for details and to see whether you qualify.

The Salvation Army Family Stores: Rehabilitation Program

If you're looking for a VA scholarship or subsidy I guess your local VA dept is the best source of info for that? (I'm not an American)

Welcome to SR

Your county department of human services may be able to help, or lead you somewhere that can, keeping in mind it's a government agency with all that entails.

Zero's was a good suggestion

This is a national database of treatment facilities

Substance Abuse Treatment Facility Locator

if you enter your location and then hit the 'select services' button you can refine your results to those rehabs that offer sliding fee scales (fee is based on income and other factors) and payment assistance (check with facility for details), and other things like medicaid
