“A study shows that the U.S. spent a combined $ 11.9 billion on alcohol and drug abuse treatment, while the total social costs were more than $ 294 billion.

Mental Healty Treatment Facility?

Question by barbaraissa: Mental Healty Treatment Facility?
Anyone know of a recovery center that deals with dual diagnosis but mostly the mental health part? Any that I find cost $ 30k+…….that’s enough to drive anyone crazy…sorry, bad joke!

I hear that the mental health care system here in Arizona is just about the worst. We’re willing to send our son (20) anywhere in the US if that place can actually help him but can’t find a place that’d be a great match for him. Dr’s have been trying for 2 years but so far, no balance for this terrific young man. Any suggestions?…………. no stupid replys please!!!!

If You Have Ever Volunteered at a Rehab Center What Kind of Things Did You Do?

Question by *Michelle*: If you have ever volunteered at a rehab center what kind of things did you do?
Or even if you haven’t can you tell me what kind of stuff they have you do when you volunteer at a rehabilitation center for drugs or alcohol?
Well i managed to look up information and they do have people who volunteer if you are qualified. You have to apply like you would for a regular job. They do things like teaching arts and crafts classes. There was a list but I’d have to dig it out. Thanks for your help though it is much appreciated.
