Drug Rehab Centers in Texas? Where Is an Affordable/effective One?

Question by Miss Lauren: Drug Rehab Centers in Texas? Where is an affordable/effective one?
One of my good friends just finally found her brother on the streets. He is in bad shape and she won’t stop until he has hope again. I’m trying to help her find an affordable and successful Drug Rehabilitation Center possibly 1.5-2 hours away from Dallas. (Doesn’t have to be that specific, but its ideal).

If you’d like to read his story it’s pretty incredible.

Have You Ever Had One of Those Real Life Situations That Cause You to Pinch Yourself……?

Question by : Have you ever had one of those real life situations that cause you to pinch yourself……?
…cause you might be dreaming?
Here is one from my life… see if you can top it.

My bro-in-law has a bad Opiate addiction. Oxycodone. But also mixes in Morphine some times. He has lost everything good in his life… jobs, wives, kids, homes, cars, belongings, health, friendships, etc. We helped him into detox and rehab a few times… to no avail. He robs and steals and makes a living selling other people’s stuff. He keeps chasing the high and buying and selling drugs and working with corrupt doctors to sell prescriptions for them. He recently moved to another state to get away from his life here in Virginia. He moved in with his mother and looking for a job.
