Finding good Herion addiction rehab centers?
Question by Ghena Hammond: Finding good Herion addiction rehab centers?
My husband is a heroin addict and hence i’m in search of a really good rehab center away from our home country. I need to know how to assess rehab centers i find online and what are your recommendations anywhere in the world. I’m not in search of a cheap (in terms of prices) rehab center yet not extremely expensive ones. I have a budget of 26,000 US$ and insurance is NOT paying for that. I also need to know what is considered to be an average length for a good program because some centers say 6 months and others say 4 weeks!!!! how can I know what is best for my husband.???!!!!!
P.S this will be the first time for my husband to get admitted to a rehab center. within 1 years he’s been on and off drugs 3 times. right now he’s not using heroin injections and never did. he’s only inhaling and smoking heroin. He has very low self esteem and no confidence in him self at all.

I heard of a radical treatment place in Thailand that helps addicts to detox and get them off the gear..there was a programme on it..it would be cheap, I guess. I think it’s run by buddhist monks or something. try google ‘thailand + heroin detox + buddhists’…it could work! One thing to be aware of is the proximity of thailand to the golden triangle, which manufactures most of the world’s heroin… this doesn’t mean it’s freely available everywhere, just something to be aware of. It probably indicates that they have their own methods to counter the problem of addiction. It might sound a bit radical and extreme, but detoxing from heroin in thailand and having a slightly healthy lifestyle and kind support when doing so might be better than trying it in some rank clinical medical surgery in some grey suburbs somewhere…good luck, hope this is some help..
incidentally, he will only be able to kick if it is his decision to do so I believe…i think 4 weeks is probably about right, but he might always be tempted so don’t expect the cure to last forever..he will need a lot of support.
