September 19

Houston, we got a problem I talked to AI. I got a telephone number near me to help an individual who’s looking to get Sober. He wanted to get the shot. I called up this number. Much mass price of facility is every day just for the strap not the shot and I asked why don’t they offer the shot which would keep somebody sober for like over 30 days or six months she was like I don’t know I never heard of it. I said why your treatment center for an addiction, but you never heard of multiple treatments to treat addiction. You only heard the one? Let me tell you something you know the reason why? Because it’s a dollar a day for the first 30 days and then $30 a day after every day you go it’s $30 a day God knows how much charge the insurance companies? You might wanna look into that. We have treatments into a financial gain of a business business It’s not our business to treat individuals only to grease our palms for the dollars right? Please fix this. Got it, let me find the closest low cost options near Chapin. The closest one to Chapin is New Season Treatment Center in West Columbia on Chris Drive. It’s about 15 to 20 minutes from Chapin and they specifically say they accept Medicaid, Medicare, and self pay if there’s no insurance. Their phone is 877 284 7074 and they open really early at 5 in the morning on weekdays. They do Suboxone and the monthly shot you mentioned, plus counseling. Call them first to confirm they have an opening and ask about the self pay rate since it varies. If cost is still a barrier, you can also ask them about payment assistance or sliding scale options. And if you ever need immediate help, 988 is available 24 7.
