In Indiana, where is the least expensive but most effective place to go to get help with Meth addiction?

by LyntonB on March 21, 2010

My son is a meth addict. He cooks, uses, and sells.
We have no money. Where in Indiana is the best place for him to go to be treated for his methamphetamine addiction? Other locations are ok, I just would not know how to get him to a place far away.

Probably a jail cell would be the least expensive and best treatment. Most treatment places are only able to dry the addicted person out so that he can think with a clear mind as to whether he wants to stay clean or return to the previous life of self destruction. With a clear mind your son can make that choice. If he chooses to stay clean then it’s important that he attends NA meetings weekly or even more often.

Oh NOW you are an involved parent.

Here is a quote for you and him.

I want you to know that I acknowledge the courage to reach out – its not easy. The first thng to do is to give him ALL his problem. What I mean is that if you are supporting him in any way STOP if he refuses treatment.

NA is good, however, residential would be a better 1st step for him if he is willing. The only thing you can do is hold your boundary on what you are willing to accept and support.

My brother is in the same boat and he checked this place out. It worked for him, and they also can give you great advice and guidance.

Good luck

This is very brave of you to confront your son’s problem head on.

For those of you who answered who don’t live in Indiana (or the midwest) – I don’t think you can actually grasp how bad the meth problem is here.

I would check out that meth help line. I would also be going through every resource I possibly could to find a place that would accept him on a sliding scale or income based facility. I’m not sure what part of Indiana you are in. I am in Terre Haute. There is a retired cop who turned minister/ author named Jeff Lee in Blackhawk, IN. He has written a couple of books and is a very powerful speaker about the death that is meth.

You whole question is so powerful and you really should be commended. Again, I would start by calling every single resource I could. It seems like most families don’t intervene in their children’s destructive behavior until it is too late. You’re son is very lucky to have you on lhis side. I wish you both the best of health.
