It’s cheaper than the drugs 
Search for places in your state and call them. Many have a variety of funding options.
There is literally nothing for you to lose. Make the call 
Search for sobriety the same way a person searches for water in the desert. You’ll find it.

Don’t wait until tomorrow. Do it today. Setting an intent and following through is the first step to real change.

It’s time for a change and you can only have that if you choose to walk away from the substances that cloud and hold you back from living life. Each time you become closer to death, don’t you want to live for the best moments in your life that are yet to happen? Its time for a change but you have to want it
Other people have recommended rehab I personally have never been into hard drugs like cocaine or methamphetamine but my problem was with alcohol. Throw that stuff out its not serving you and through will power and self love you can eliminate the illusion that alcohol is helping you because it’s not. You have come to terms and that is good but now you need to step out that door, join NA, AA, rehab, I think the minimal I would recommend is sticking around here and hearing what others have to say. Do some reading, rehydrate, go eat something good and nutritious and start filling your body with vitamins and minerals. Are you willing to take your first step? Are you ready to live life? Stop making excuses for yourself and take ownership you can do it

Josh talk to your GP, there is medication they can give you to help with the detox process.
I did it, 5 days detox, I’ve never looked back.
Don’t try do it by yourself, there is help out there, you just got to want it bad enough.

My experience was that I did go to the hospital detox for 5 days and then to a 30 day program in a women’s rehab home. Was not allowed to go home during that time. Family could visit though. Excellent care and I highly recommend this. Depending on where you live your medical may cover the costs. Wishing you the very best.
Thanks for all the replies … I’m going to thedoctors today! Will keep posting thanks a lot

Hi Josh - during your visit to the doctor today, it will be of the utmost importance for you to do two things. First, be honest about why you are there, your recent history of use of all drugs and alcohol and your loss of control. Second, accept the help offered.
Putting limits on my recovery, telling myself I would not go to AA or to rehab or I would not follow the suggestions of others with successful recovery damn near killed me. I got permanently sober and serene in my mind when I became willing to do anything at all that was suggested by those with long term sobriety or professional experience.
