Finding good Herion addiction rehab centers?
My husband is a heroin addict and hence i'm in search of a really good rehab center away from our home country. I need to know how to assess rehab centers i find online and what are your recommendations anywhere in the world. I'm not in search of a cheap in terms of prices rehab center yet not extremely expensive ones. I have a budget of 26,000 US$ and insurance is NOT paying for that. I also need to know what is considered to be an average length for a good program because some centers say 6 months and others say 4 weeks how can I know what is best for my husband.??? P.S this will be the first time for my husband to get admitted to a rehab center. within 1 years he's been on and off drugs 3 times. right now he's not using heroin injections and never did. he's only inhaling and smoking heroin. He has very low self esteem and no confidence in him self at all.
