“You’re drunk, you’re high, you’re in big trouble. Maybe you’ve been committing crimes to support a habit. Maybe you have tried to drive somewhere. Regardless of the circumstance, you’re in a crisis situation, and you decide you’ve had enough you’re ready to get help. What are your options?
You could be arrested. If you really hadn’t committed a crime, they might let you dry out and then let you go. Had you thought you might get some treatment, some hint of a direction for further services? You won’t be offered any.
You could go to the local hospital ER. They’d take a history, check you over, and unless you had “medical necessity” fairly rare they’d send you somewhere else. You’d waste your time and the ER staff’s as well. Did you know you could call the local referral service? And if you have some time and lots of motivation, you might be lucky enough to get a bed. But don’t count on it. Most people have to wait, many are referred to outpatient and many just give up trying. You know, if you don’t have insurance or money, you’re pretty much out of luck.”
