Most states have a free indigent rehab program now you may have to wait for a bed but they are available .If there is anyway you can do rehab its by far the best choice.:)

Hey man, nothing wrong with you, just a setback in life is all.  Calm down, you did the best thing the biggest thing already: you know you are sick and want to get better.  I did that about two weeks ago and cannot wait until I am completely clean!!  I am so jealous of those guys who just cleaned up.  
Now you can go CT or taper.  Tapering works for me: I went from 120 a day to 70 and stayed there for a week.  Now I am at 50 a day and just got back from my pain doctor - great guy!  He gave me stuff to help with withdrawals: a tranquilizer for anxiety, heart blood pressure med for shakes and anti-inflammatory for pain.  I feel I am doing OK.  Actually, after I took these, I feel pretty good! Ready to cut another 10 or maybe even 20 from my daily intake!  
Just hang in there!  Thing of all the things you have in your life, and all the things you want to do, this is just a bump in the road!  It will pass and everything will be OK and sun will shine, OK?!  NOTHING WRONG WITH YOU, alright man?

Quality rehab facilities that are completely free are few and far between. Many have payment plans or will work with you with payments. Your best bet is to flip through the yellow pages, find the first rehab, and call them. Tell them what you need and ask for help. If they can't help, ask for a referral. Rehab centers know about each others terms and programs for miles. They are your best source of info. Outpatient rehab isn't nearly as pricey as inpatient programs. Many work around your work schedule. You have to look for a rehab with the same gusto that you hunt for pills. This is your recovery, seize it!

I don't think you're a loser (or a bloser)...you are an addict. I have no idea where you can go to rehab for free...but if you choose to go cold turkey, everyone on this site will be backing you all the way...

you can check out some ways by clicking on the health pages at the top right of this page...there will be a link there somewhere to help you with tapering off the oc's...or how to go cold turkey, what to expect and how to get through it drug free.

Good luck, keep posting and reading...it has helped me tremendously and so many others.
