Question by daniella s: I’m at a loss as to how to find drug rehabs in Hempstead, Texas. Help?
[rewrite]I’ve never been good at finding places. Not even when I’ve got a map. But I really need to do this for a very dear friend of mine. We’ve been close since childhood, and I never expected that there would come a time when she would get herself involved with people who are doing drugs. Now she’s drug addicted as well.

How will I do this?
