St Vincent DePaul and the Salvation Army also provide assistance to families in need.  You can also check with Narcotics Anonymous to see if they can hook you up with a treatment program in your area.  Even if your substance problem isn't with "narcotics" they can assist you in finding a suitable program or orgainization to help meet your needs.  They have local chapters all over the country and are staffed by people who are in recovery.  Take Care and I hope this helps get you the help you need!

Alcoholics Anonymous(AA) and Narcotics Anonymous(NA) are great places to start.  I don't know of any specific places, but AA and NA are free (the only requirement is the desire to stop drinking and using).  I am sure the local AA and NA chapters will know of good rehab centers near you.  Good luck!

Hi,\n\nFist of all, yes, free mental health treatment exists.  It is usually through the county and community centers and, like all free treatment, there is usually a wait.  If you would like to find out about places like this in your community, you should call the "crisis line or suicide hotline" (the number is usually on the first page of the phonebook)  - you DO NOT have to be sucicidal to call.  It's just that those people are trained counselors, they know all the resources of the city and could give you some quick telephone numbers and/or guide you in the right direction.\n\nOther ideas:  Since you are a student, you may qualify for free or practically free mental health visits (depending on your student health plan and how big your university is).  I would check this out for sure.  Most student have student health insurance and don't even know it.  Most campuses have a health clinic.\n\nRegarding the fact that you are on your mother's health insurance in California, it may cost you a little more to see a therapist up there, but you can still do it and the therapist can bill her insurance.  If you go through the Kaiser system up there, you might not have to pay anything extra at all.  Since Kaiser is Kaiser in every state (unlike other insurance) maybe you'll be completely covered.  Call Kaiser to ask.  There should be a number for mental health services on your insurance card, or just call the local Kaiser hospital or clinic.  If you want to keep this confidential from your mother, make sure to mention that and see what their procedure is for that situation.\n\nLastly, support groups are a WONDERFUL help to so many people, they are totally free and YOU DON'T HAVE TO TALK.  It is totally up to you if you want to share something or not.  Don't be afraid to go.  However, unlike a lot of people, I think you do have some other options you should try first - maybe in this order:  Kaiser, student health, criis line, self-help groups.  \n\nNo matter what, you will be able to find what you need.  Just hang in there and be patient - sometimes people on the phone don't know what they are talking about, so if it doesn't make sense, ask to speak to the supervisor or call back and try to get a different person.\n\nI hope this helps and I am glad that you are making the efforts to get support for yourself in a new city - that's intimidating, but you know people in Portland are basically nice, right? :)\n\nTake care... I wish you well...

Yes there is most communities have centers to help with this, such as groups, hospitials, ect. i would start by contacting a hospital, or contacting your local United Way to see what resources are out there. I know where I live all we have to do is dial 211 for information on Community needs and where to go to get help for these issures.

When I lived in Portland, Oregon, at Denver and Lombard there is a tavern called the farmers barn tavern if you go  there, you will find everybody is crazier than you are and for the price of a couple of beers.  It's well worth the investment and if that's not your cup of tea.  Look in the book, Multnomah County adult mental services.  I believe the service is free for low income individuals.  Good luck and I hope all is well

I think it's great that you are going for help.  Not many people have the strength to do it.\n\nI'm going through some substance problems myself and your question interested me, because I saw my Psychologist today and we had a discussion about similar meds.\n\nI've done some reading about Campral and there's a lot of BS out there.  Merc is the company that manufactures it and the description they give on their website on how it works is pretty vague. It also appears that it's not FDA approved in the US, where it's more widely used in Europe - I'm not sure if that means much, because there are many FDA approved drugs that don't work for what they are prescribed for. \n\nI got a pretty good description from NetDoctor over here;\n\nhttp://www.netdoctor.co.uk/medicines/100000440.html\n\nFrom reading it, it appears that the way it works, is that it stimulates your brain in the same way alcohol does or in essence, acts like fake booze, thus decreasing the cravings.  You will eventually have to be weaned off of this drug (similar to alcohol ?!?!).  It's not designed to reduce withdrawal symptoms and it will not work if you continue to drink.  Taking this drug a lone will not cure your addiction; it is an adjunct treatment to an intensive phycotherapy program for substance abuse.\n\nIt appears that you have a Psychiatrist lined up.  If you don't have a good addiction therapist lined up, I would try to find one before taking this medication.  You should manage your expectations and goals to be concurrent with the success of your therapy, where the Campral will provide additional support to keep you from hitting the sauce.\n\nI'm glad you brought this up; this is something I will discuss with my psychiatrist next week.\n\nIn my situation; I'm battling several years of synergistic drug abuse and a few mental disorders (Bipolar and borderline personality disorder).  I was initially prescribed anticonvulsants (mood stabilizers) to manage my manic highs and depression and it was imperative that I stoped drinking and using so that I could let the meds work.  My Psychiatrist hooked me up with a good Psychologist that specializes in substance abuse.  I have one on one sessions with both of them and am also part of managed group therapy for substance abuse with 8 other people, run by two psychologist.\n\nI'm doing really well, but still have cravings.  Through the therapy, I've identified the emotions, people and situations where I drink the most.  The most prevalent of situations is business travel and this is where we started talking about the anti-drinking drugs.  My psychologist recommended I take Antabuse.  This is totally different from Campral.  This stuff will make you very sick even if you consume a little booze.  Essentially it's designed to reduce your cravings by literally, PUTTING THE FEAR OF DEATH IN YOU!  \n\nI'm not sure how bad your drinking problem was or if Campral or Antabuse will work for you.  I'm not sure Campral would work for me and it's just one more thing I would have to be weaned off of.  You are going to have to go cold turkey on the booze for at least two months if you want the antidepressants to work, regardless of whether or not you take the Campral.  If you drink with antidepressants, they won't work that well and the campral will make you more depressed.  It doesn't make sense to me?\n\nThis is my opinion, I am not a Dr.  Your Dr. certainly knows what's better for you than me.  I know that my cravings are powerful, especially when I'm in certain situations, with that said, I feel the Antabuse is appropriate and will provide the support I need.\n\nI hope this helps and if you want, I can email you and let you know what my Dr. thinks of Campral when I speak to her.  Feel free to email if you have any other questions.
