Where do you work?
Many companies offer their employees Employee Assistance Programs. These are entirely confidential, and your employer will not know about it. Most companies know that drug addiction is a societal problem, and accept the fact that some of their employees are going to have that problem. This is why good companies have these EAPs for the benefit of their employeers.
Someone has already mentioned Narcotics Anonymous. That is a good resource.
Call you county mental health department, or visit its web site.

First of all, let me say that I emphathize with the seriousness of your situation as I have had friends who continue to battle with this addiction. I will pray for your strength and your soon recovery - completely of this disease (dis - ease of the mind causes many addictions). I would first contact the local hospitals who have 'connections' with mental health facilities. I am not sure where you live, but here in Nashville, the Vanderbilt hospital has a connection with the mental health unit and they can recommend 'free' treatment centers. Secondly, you can always check the yellow pages. Believe it or not - many of these centers are listed and available for help. Third, contact your local social services office. If you are truly serious about recovery, they can assist you. Fourth, I hope that you have a church home or affiliation. While many people don't think much of churches and their functions these days, I have to admit that there are many who have bought into the programs of helping their parishioners because the truth is - PEOPLE NEED HELP and are crying out! Our churchu has access to the facilitiies in our community and our Pastor is very big on community services and church provided services for the people who need help. Please check out any of these avenues and do whatever is necessary to help yourself. Your life depends on it - and we depend on you. You are necessary to us - to your family and to your community. While you are in this pain - recognize that you are not the only one - and someone, somewhere needs your help. We need you to be whole, healthy and strong. Bless you as you progress and if you need someone to support you, comfort and encourage you, please seek my email address and we can communicate further. I know what you are going through and it's rough - but the accomplishment of success is possible. God bless you.

i won't be able to answer for somebody who's a 'born returned Christian' even with the undeniable fact that it became into basically when I developed a private relationship with God that i became into waiting to offer up smoking cigarettes. Nicotine is between the main useful addictive drugs and that i failed many circumstances till now while i attempted to stop. i eventually stumbled on something I enjoyed greater desirable than my cigarettes.

Every state has a government subsidized substance abuse program, whether it be residential or outpatient.
You should contact your local department of social services office to get a listing of "free" treatment options.
To find your local DSS office, do a google search on the following;
Good luck
