Sometimes a church is the best place to ask for help. They sometimes know of better places to go than a court-ordered type rehab facility. When my dad was recovering from a 30+ year alcohol problem (he tried many times but this place finally got him on track, and he's been sober for 2+ years), he went to a place that pretty much was a church. It was community oriented and everyone had responsibilities. Everyone had to go to church. They had 3 AA meetings a day and everyone rotated with chores. It was also cheaper than typical rehab, and the people there were usually those that had loved ones who cared enough to research and find a good place to go. I'd recommend that route for sure, for any recovering addicts. Might not be the best for your particular situation, as a place like that wouldn't have the kind of protection a court-ordered facility would have.
