That will be pretty close to impossible.

~~Call your county health department. Most counties offer help with mental health issues, or will refer you to a sliding scale facility. Hopefully yours will too.~~

The option is the same as for anything else that you need and cannot get an insurance company to give you: You pay for it.

YOU want him to start rehab? Honey, that's flat out not going to get him clean. It really isn't. It's NEVER going to work, until/unless HE wants to stop using. Since he has no health insurance, and YOU are the one who wants him in rehab, you might as well be the one paying for it. Might as well burn your money, though, because someone ELSE can't make him do something he doesn't want to do (stop using). I'd strongly suggest two things: 1. get yourself to some NarcAnon meetings. You can find local meetings and help here: http://nar-anon.org/Nar-Anon/Nar-Anon_Home.html 2. toss him back, and try for someone else. It's completely unfair to him, for you to want him to change. This is how he is. If you don't want a drug addict in your life, you'll have to pick someone else, who isn't a drug addict.
