Inpatient Drug Rehabs?

Question by Daeris819: Inpatient Drug Rehabs?
My friend is in need of one of these places, but I don’t think she’ll do the work to find one.

Can anyone give me information on how to find a nearby inpatient drug rehab? Any websites?

Best answer:

Answer by Niki
This is the best website I have found. My brother-in-law (who is a drug and alcohol counselor) uses it to find rehab facilities for patients in need. It’s a government website, so it’s reliable.
