If you know anyone dealing with opiate addiction... there are places they can go that will not bankrupt you; Teen Challenge (men and women houses across the US), Hebron Colony (men only in NC), Women at The Well (women only in TN) and Grace Home (women only in SC) to name a few.

Teen Challenge is a conservative Christian organization that will take any person in... they do not take insurance, most pay nothing... I paid $450/month for my daughter.... because I could.

Christian based long term treatments have been found to be highly successful... over 70% leaving the 12-15 month program will remain clean... unfortunately my daughter was not one of them. She is now in another Christian facility....

If in Recovery, go to AA, NA and or Celebrate Recovery... build a network of support... DO NOT go back to old friends... it may just kill you.

Phoenix Multisport (CO, CA and MA) is a free gym for those in recovery... run by persons in recovery for those in recovery... it is a great place to start your new network when leaving rehab....

Lastly, for men... join a Christian organization like Promise Keepers or Men's Discipleship Network... it is means by which to become accountable to your brothers... you would be surprised by how many in these organizations are in recovery....

Please pray for the families going through this ordeal... and for the addicted... I have met 1000's of persons addicted to Heroin... you would be surprised how the vast majority look like your children....

Private message me if anyone needs more information....
