[QUOTE="Smithmom, post: 743238, member: 23371"] I agree certainly there is no one answer. But in my experience the best way to get treatment is to get the sub abuse evaluation. That gets the referral and their job is to find the bed. They know all available programs. My experience anyway. My son tells me that in his federal prison there is no option for AA or NA mtgs. They exist but with a long waiting list to get in. Whether this is true or not I wouldn't know. In some ways it makes sense to me Certainly its an easy way to get out of a cell for an hour with no effort required. Same as religious services. My kid told me he went to Muslim services for awhile. To convert? No, something to do, curiosity. I assume also the only service with an open slot. Also, religion and sub abuse mtgs are presumably lifelong interests. With long prison terms there aren't going to be vacancies often. And with budgeting more groups aren't likely. [/QUOTE]
