Hello,

Posted on this forum just over a year ago regarding a crisis involving a family member and heroin use.

The problem continues and we want to find an appropriate and quality residential rehab center for that particular family member that's compatible with his insurance and won't bankrupt the family. We're looking to have him involuntarily committed via Florida's Marchman Act but we need to find a facility for him.

Does anyone know of a good central hotline or website that can assist me in finding the right facility?

Thank you!

While any of us here can certainly appreciate the difficulty of your situation involving this family member, it might be best for you to take quite a bit of time to absorb the stories here from the "friends and family" section so you can fully understand and appreciate the fact that unless the addict is ready to voluntarily commit to treatment, it's very likely to be a huge waste of your time and resources to try and force them to go.

A step back and a "tough love" stance may be a more positive approach, especially if you indeed don't want to bankrupt your family. The bankruptcy you're committed to wanting to prevent isn't just financial...it also can be inclusive of the mental and emotional commitment being co-dependent on a loved one's addiction.

While it may certainly be appropriate to have a list of possible facilities on hand, the actual use of them might be better spent for when the patient is willingly committing themselves to the task at hand.

Thanks for all of your responses.

Some good news. The family member has expressed an interest in willingly committing to a residential rehab program.
