    I would like to find a low-cost alcohol rehab in Aptos, California. How?
    Question:
    My friend has gotten herself addicted to alcohol. She has just recently told me that she would like to get herself treated for this condition. The problem is, she doesn't have enough money to finance the treatment costs. Any suggestions?

    Answer:
    I think it would be good if she applies for a grant from the government. She can also use the second link below to contact alcohol rehabs and ask them if they would be willing to give her a discount or have her pay off her bills at a later date. If those don't work, she could just opt to join AA. It will really help her. Good luck!
