Need Help? Baby Sister on Heroin?
Question by Tecumseh: Need help? Baby sister on Heroin?
My baby sister just called me and told me that she is on heroin, she says that she has people after her and that she can not quit the drug on her own without becoming terribly ill. I know she needs my help and i am willing to take her children into my home while she goes to a rehab center, the only problem there is she doesn’t have any money, but i think she has a medical card, so is there a rehab center that anyone knows of near kentucky, ohio or indiana that will take in someone with a medical card? I don’t now what to do and really need some kind of advice.
p.s. does anyone know if any rehabs take people with medical cards?
medical card is like medicaid or medicare, whichever one isn’t for elderly people, the welfare one. and i would never turn my back on her, the reason she came to me is because i have battled my own addictions and she knows that because of that the last thing i would do is judge her. I still see her as my freckle face 7 year old stalker and would turn my back on her about the same time hell froze over.

Definitely you have to take her to the rehab center as soon as possible. If she told you this it means she desperately needs your help. So be beside her. Don’t leave her alone. You’ll find money.
I don’t know what else to say cos I don’t live there.. But I think that the rehabs should take people with medical cards. You should go there and ask as soon as possible. Don’t waste time cos with every moment it can get worse… I’m really sorry..

I take your talk of a medical card to mean that she has some kind of medical insurance coverage.
If that is the case then your sister needs to contact her insurance provider, and find out: a) if they cover her for entering a rehab centre, and b) if she is covered, then what rehab centres they approve of her entering.
Otherwise, finding a rehab centre on your own that you and your family can’t afford will be a waste of time.
