i understand that you feel discouraged, but i'm not rich or a celebrity by any means and i recovered....it CAN happen.....it's sucks that your insurance isn't the best.....it might be a long shot, but would your insurance consider residential treatment???

A residential place is what I need to be admitted into. Called a place today. They won't take me. It really is discourging. I cried for quite awhile.

i tried looking through my old papers from when i was in an inpatient program....there is a place-i forget where-that's free.....i'd try looking it up online....i really hope this helped...

There is a Christian residential place called Mercy Ministries that is almost free. They do require you to bring a small amount of spending money, but it's a really small amount compared to the cost of other residential places.

They require a fairly extensive application process and can take awhile to get into, and they have an age limit (I think it's 27), and they have several locations.

Also, there are some grps that give "scolarships" to people who need help. You might want to check with ANAD and NEDA (both have online sites) to see if they can direct you to those, and they also may be able to give you an idea of other places that can help.

Don't give up after one place refused to help. There are a lot of places out there.

mercy ministries is the place that i was talking about.....it's free except for the spending money....i'd look into that
