A member asked:
I am addicted to opiates 5 years now. what can i do? please help, i have no insurance so i cant see a doctor

Consider costs: Firstly, try resources at narcotics anonymous ( http://www.na.org/ ). By attending a meeting, you may find solutions that only those who have gone through addiction can know. Secondly, compare the cost of a doctor visit with the on-going costs of opiate addiction (include absenteeism, loss of work, price of the narcotic, etc). I applaud your desire to kick the habit, and wish you the best.
