This is the number for Narc-Anon. Last I knew they do not charge, and they are on an out patient (group) basis. This works okay for some and not for others. However, a counselor can do an evaluation on your husband and determine what best suits his needs

1-800-US-NO-DRUGS 1-800-876-6378
A non-profit organization lending a hand to people in need since 1966

Now that your husband is unemployed, and depending on if you are working or not, and how much you make, you may qualify for state assistance. (I am guessing with 5 kids-you would). Please see your local social services to see what help you'd qualify for. They may even pay for a drug rehab inpatient program. Best of luck to you and your family, you certainly deserve to get back on your feet and have your husband be drug free.

Your question was very distressing to me... Here are quite a few places that might help him. here is a website where you enter in information about your husband and set up a time for them to call you to see about having him commited to a drug-rehab facility.

I couldn't find any free rehab services but most will accept insurance if your husband is covered and you have little out of pocket expense. I know you may think I cant afford that but the long term use of him feeding his addiction will cost your family a whole lot more in the long run and not just the money to support his habit but your kids not really having a father, possible jail time if he should get caught, bail money, court costs, not to mention it destroying your kids along the way. I really do wish you the best of luck.
