Do You Know of Any Treatment Centers Like Teen Challenge?

Question by Cassandra R: Do you know of any treatment centers like teen challenge?
[rewrite]My fiance is 41 years old. We live in northern texas. He is currently in jail facing a felony charge. I’ve been talking to his lawyer on finding a place for him to be court ordered to go to get help and hes asking me to give him some numbers and places. Hes addicted to drugs and alcohol. He also has liver problems that will someday take his life if he doesn’t stay sober. The only place that i know of that will help him the best is a non-profit organization called Teen Challenge. Its free and it really helps its students. Although im trying to find other places that are similar that may be a better suit for him. He also has to take medication everyday for his bipolar and schizophrenia, so im looking for a place that will allow that medical support also. Over all im looking for some place that is Free, medical facility,christian environment, and long term. Thank you so very much this would mean the world to me if i had some help.
NOT looking for a clinic.

Can Anybody Help With Some Advice for Homeopathic Remedies to Help With Giving Up Metadone and Other Drugs?

Question by cocoscupboard: Can anybody help with some advice for homeopathic remedies to help with giving up metadone and other drugs?
Please help with any advice on alternative homeopathic remedies such as ginseng, valarian etc, anything that could help someone who is gradually detoxing from serious drug addictions. I have been reunited with a family member who lives abroad and discovered he has been addicted for 30 years to heroin, and is now on 150ml methadone per day, 20 tablets of diazepam (5mg) and nitrazepam (5mg) 20 tabs per day, plus other pills for sleeping and stomach problems. He now really wants to get clean but can’t do cold turkey as he could die thorugh this option aparently? He also has hepatitus b and c and has a poor liver now.
Please help, advice is much appreciated! He lives in Scandinavia and there are no centres locally.
