A7/Rapidly changing resources; in any state call 211 for United Way's 24hr hotline for local no-cost treatment. @OfficialMgh e.g. provides Suboxone in ED and Bridge program walk-in tx services; no payment needed. @The_BMC walk-in SUD tx, housing #CADAChat opioidcoaching.com xitter.cf/DrugAbuse/status/98706…
Q7: How can a patient with limited/no insurance and limited/no financial resources get professional help for their substance use disorder? #CADAChat

Unfortunately, this is a very true statement! #CADAChat xitter.cf/PatrickDoyle_35/status…
A5/ yes. most of us put more research into buying a new car, than in a rehab program! How wild is that?! #CADAChat opioidcoaching.com

A6: Like @Recovery_Org said, you're away from your new life & starting a fresh new one in recovery. There will be positives & negatives to this! Starting over will be scary, but for some it's necessary #CADAChat

A6: Cons: It could cost $$ to get to and from treatment. And it can be difficult for loved ones to visit. But that can also be a pro, I think. #CADAChat

A4/ and be VERY VERY CAREFUL as there are a lot of unscrupulous programs out there taking advantage of vulnerable families and patients! The Rehab Industry is like the Wild West; little/no regulation or oversight. Sober Homes never regulated #CADAChat opioidcoaching.com xitter.cf/DrugAbuse/status/98706…
Q4: What factors should someone consider when choosing a treatment program or facility? #CADAChat
Recovery.org retweeted
A5: Do a lot of research. Online research can be helpful. Maybe ask hospitals, too. And see if any friends or family have experience with certain facilities or outpatient programs. #CADAChat
Recovery.org retweeted
A4: Cost, of course. And whether or not they take your insurance, if you have it. What kind of programs they offer. Do they have a family program for relatives/loved ones? Will they treat co-occurring disorders if you have them? #CADAChat

If someone's addiction isn't off the charts, I will usually suggest they start with outpatient and see how it goes. You can always "upgrade" to inpatient if necessary. #CADAChat

A3: Outpatient treatment can be great for people who can't afford to pay for inpatient treatment, or for people who can't take off work or be away from home for long periods of time. It offers flexibility. #CADAChat

A2: It's also good that you can be monitored 24/7 by professionals while in inpatient treatment. #CADAChat

Lots of RX medications can be dangerous in this way. Especially benzodiazepines like Xananx, Valium, Klonopin, etc. #CADAChat

A1: I think it's always best to get professional help because it's much safer. Detoxing can be hard on your body and doing it under the supervision of medical professionals makes it easier. #CADAChat

Yes!! I use the @10percent app almost everyday and write in my gratitude journal. It reminds me that, even though it may seem like my world is falling apart, there are SO many things to be happy about #RBRoundTable

A8: I think you have to work at it. It's not easy. Especially early on. It helps to plan things ahead of time. And, even though you may be tempted, STICK TO YOUR PLANS. Don't let a loved one's behavior control YOU!! #RBRoundTable

A8: Remember... If you *don't* practice self-care, your loved one's addiction is going to end up taking *both* of you down. You owe it to yourself--and your loved one--to practice (as @ANNELAMOTT calls it) radical self care! #RBRoundTable

A7: Al-Anon, Nar-Anon, and SMART Recovery Family & Friends are great support groups w/ great meetings for loved ones. #RBRoundTable
