Have given up on AA and have no money for yet another treatment center. I’m truly desperate.
No insurance. Unemployed. Have tried the one state-run program in my city and left after a rape-atttempt after being there for less than 24-hrs. I ran and they took no responsibility..said It’s something you have to deal with in treatment. Tell me I’m wrong…

Have you talked to your medical doctor??? There are mediation’s that can be given to help with the cravings like the ones you use for people who want to stop smoking. That and the combination of AA or a similar program might turn the tide for you. You should also try to find someone who specializes in addiction therapy a psychiatrist who can help you at the same time prescribe the medications that you might need.
If you’re unemployed than you should be eligible for Medicaid
and you should go to your nearest city hospital and apply for both Medicaid and to find a doctor to help you.
