    Default I need your help

    Last night I heard some bad news, my cousin had a stroke, she's a single mom and this is just ugh. She is no longer in immediate danger and my foster mom thinks she will make a great recovery, she is a fighter but last year another cousin who is now 27 also had a stroke.

    My foster mom asked me to help trying to find a place in the states where they deal with substance abuse, mental health and physical therapy to place him in but I am not capable of finding anything so maybe someone here knows of a place where we can have him in.

    His mom can't care for him any longer, he's gained weight and she's struggling too much. I don't know where this goes and there is more traffic here so I placed it here.

    I'm sorry it is bad news, I'm sorry I'm not a full pink but it's not for me and he's young, and I don't know I think with the proper care he can come back and be healthy and have a full life. So please if anyone knows of a place or has any information, please PM me, thanks so much.

    Sorry to hear it, HHL...

    You can search for treatment facilities in all 50 United States (plus all of the U.S Territories) using the Substance Abuse Treatment Facility Locator:

    Thanks. It's a start cause needing all 3 is what is not coming up when I search or my mom searches.

    ^ I learned at a SAMSHA conference in Washington DC last month that there is growing recognition of the medical issues that are a natural consequence of co-occurring disorders (mental illness coupled with substance abuse).

    I see, well that is good. Now he's got Medicare would you know, cause maybe not Medicare won't be capable of paying out of PR?

    ^ At this link, I found 119 locations near/surrounding San Juan. Look at #8, which accepts Medi-Care. I'm sure there are others because I found that one in 15-20 seconds...

    See the problem is my mom wants him out of PR. They tried to have him ina place in Ponce and well he still had a way to find his old "friends" mom wants him in the states, does this make sense?

    Yes, it does...

    You're in Jersey, right? Depending on where she wants him to be, you can search by state, city, zip code, etc. The facilities that accept MediCare & have a bed should accept him, although regulations may vary by state...
