Welcome to SR Wayne. I'm from the UK so I don't know anything about rehab in California. Someone will reply soon with an informative response I'm sure. I hope you find a place - I'm sorry you're feeling so low. Remember there is always hope, you can be sober again. Wishing you all the best.

Welcome Wayne. I'm new here (day #5) and don't know about centers in Cali, but I'm sure someone will get on here soon w/ some direction. Other than that, I think if you go into an ER and at least get seen and triaged to a facility.... I'd suggest calling AA or on of the other groups if you can't wait and at least get into a meeting or talk to a "live" person.

Hang tough - we're here for you! Maybe post in some more sites and they'll have more info <3

The Salvation Army offers free rehab to anyone who wants it.

These are two Salvation Army Rehab Centers in your city:

I hope that you stick around here and get to know us and that you decide to live a sober life.

Welcome Wayne

Some great advice here - the Salvation Army seems definitely worth looking at

Otherwise, you might have to do some ringing around but this is a national database of rehabs...enter your state and go from there...

Substance Abuse Treatment Facility Locator

I understand some rehabs offer places to people on low incomes...if you hit the select services button (on the second page after you enter your state) you can scroll down to payment options and find those kinds of rehabs, if there are any in your area.
