Seek Help

There are varied treatment approaches to chose from: outpatient, inpatient, 12-step, group therapy, and so on. Some have costs. Some do not. Non-costs opportunities may include 12-step and group programs …such as AA (Alcohol Anonymous), NA (Narcotics Anonymous), and MOM (Moms off Meth) … and insurances in some cases.

The treatment choice depends on a number of factors such as the individual’s needs, what a treatment center feels its success rate is with a particular issue, cost, and the location.

Possible non-cost programs may be contacted by calling:

• AA (Alcohol Anonymous) and asking for meeting time and direction … for either AA or NA (Narcotics Anonymous) meetings -- Columbus, 342-2330 and Seymour, 523-3771: Alanon meetings may also be available for family. Ask.
• Employee Assistance Plan (EAP) Assessment: If available, using your company’s EAP plan provides for free assessment and direction. If treatment help is needed beyond what this service can provide, following the EAP personnel’s advice to a treatment source can speed up connecting an individual with the help and may allow better coverage from your insurance.
• Some insurance providers: This could include your insurance company, Hoosier Healthwise, Medicaid, or Medicare. Ask what is available.
• MOM (Moms off Meth – for women): For information, call Judy Liffert at 342-1552.
• First Call for Help , 376-6666 -- If these numbers or sources cannot connect you to a meeting, First Call or Help may be able to provide ones that can.
