We’re really strapped for cash. My husband got fired from his job because they discovered that he’s using heroin. My income alone will not be enough to get him into a drug rehab. One of my three sons is already working, but he’s already got his own family to feed so I really can’t ask for too much. We have no relatives nearby and I don’t know anyone whom I could turn to for financial assistance. Can anybody give me ideas on how I can put my husband through drug rehab? And please don’t say I need to get a part-time job, because I’m already doing that every spare time I’ve got.

Perhaps your husband can get an outpatient methadone prescription which you will have to keep out of the hands of your three children.
Check to see if it will show up on drug tests. This will buy some time for your husband. He can get a job and save the money for rehab. If he doesn’t want to get a second part-time job, he can maintain the house while you work nights. See if there is a job in your field that will pay more money.
Also see if your other two children can get jobs. They should put their cash in the bank rather than bring it home.

Oh, that’s too bad. It’s a good thing that you’re there for your husband, though. Just hang in there, you’ll get through this. A good thing to do would be to apply for a grant from the government. It’s worth a try, you might get approved. Does your husband have insurance? Some insurance companies are willing to cover expenses for rehab treatments. You can also choose to call up various drug rehabs and ask them if they will agree to giving you a discount or have you pay off your bills at a later date or devise some other payment strategy for your husband. Good luck! I sincerely hope that your husband gets treated soon. I know this is really tough, but just be there for him and hopefully, everything will turn out to be alright.
