I need to find emergency shelter for a dear friend of mine, she’s currently using drugs and she is off her medication. She is an abusive relationship and always threatened to be kicked out. They have no water there and the house is infested with bugs and rats. She needs help immediately. I am in recovery myself so I am more versed in where to look for help. She doesn’t know where to turn to and asked me for my help. Please let me know if there is anything you can tell me that can help. She is barely able to talk on the phone due to the abusive situation.
A place called the Re Center might be a good option. They offer housing/apartments for individuals like your friend. Its a good resource because they can help with the housing part and helping her to overcome her addition issues.

Another option to help her get inpatient substance abuse is called The Council on Alcohol and Drugs. They will assess her and let her know where she can go for assistance based on her income (or lack of income) and insurance.

Again I would say start with Re Center because they offer housing for individuals with addition. I’m not sure if they have waitlists though.
