Question by mikeyb: Bay Area Alcohol In-Patient Rehab Options?
Hi Folks. I need your help. My sister is an alcoholic and my family and I feel it would be best for her to commit to an in-patient rehab program. She’s already gone to AA meetings and has multiple DUIs. The problem is that we’re on a very tight budget as it is so it’s unlikely that we’ll be able to afford to pay for this. Are there any non-profit in-patient rehab programs in California (particularly bay area / monterey county)? If so, can someone point me in the right direction?
Best answer:
Answer by krista Check with your state’s department of public assistance. As far as I know, all US states offer funding for those in need of drug & alcohol rehabilitation. I was in two different rehab treatment centers and both were paid by public assistance.
Answer by I miss SF There are so many programs in your area.
If you send your sister to Glide they can get her a case manger which will give her a chance to get into a lot more programs than with out one. The number is 415-674-6170 and they are located at 330 Ellis Street San Francisco 94102
Also, Walden House offers many programs and they could defintly help your sister out. The number is 415-674-6170 The address is 1840 Van Ness ave San Fancisco 94109.
Either place can help her with case managment (which like I said can get her in to many other places) and other services.
Both are very low coast to free depending on the person. They do work with homless but you don’t have to be homeless.
Here is a site that has some info

Your sister is actualy lucky because you do live in a area with lots of services. If she has to have something in Monterey county either place can point you her in that area.
Good Luck!
