Can You Help Me Find My Brother a Drug Rehab Center That Is Free or Super Inexpensive?

Question by Texan~to_the-Max: Can you help me find my brother a drug rehab center that is free or super inexpensive?
My brother who has no insurance has been abusing legal and illegal drugs and goes on drug trips that land him in the loony bin a few times. He regains his senses and quits talking to the voices and himself and they let him go. He has had a pattern of proven illegal drug use or evidence of legal drug abuse like empty Nyquil bottles and alcohol containers every time he goes on one of his “trips”. We call them mental breakdowns for a lack of better term. He has been picked by police so many times and delivered to the psychic ward several times and they want to treat him like a bi-polar patient. The evidence is that he is a drug addict. His first mental breakdown was when he admitted to mixing Mary Jane with PCP and the legal half of Pen-Phen. 3 weeks he was a babbling idiot and thought he was Jesus and even tried to heal another patient. His drug trips are shorter now, but no less scary and he tend to run away whether on foot or car and disappears on us.

Why Was It That Obama Lifted the Ban on HIV Infected People to Come to the States Again?

Question by The Fed Up Matthew™: Why was it that Obama lifted the ban on HIV infected people to come to the States again?
Jan. 15 (Bloomberg) — Strains of mutant HIV emerging in the U.S. and Europe threaten to undermine progress made in expanding access to treatment in poor countries, a study published online by the journal Science found.

About 60 percent of drug-resistant HIV strains circulating in San Francisco can spur self-sustaining epidemics as patients who haven’t been treated spread them, researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles said in the study. Similar trends are emerging in other rich cities including New York, Chicago and London, said Sally Blower, a professor of mathematical biology, who led the research.
