There are actually some treatment centers that are fairly nice that don't need a lot of money upfront, some cases no money! Look in Google. Anyways aside from that, your girlfriend needs to want help first. Until she admits there is a problem she desperately needs help with she cannot be helped, its sad but its true. Drug addiction come with denial and you have to be very strong, go to meetings, NA meeting's are free, every city has them. There are people you will find at those meeting's that will offer whatever they can to help. There are some churches that offer assistance into facilities, you just have to make sure she is ready for change!
I will pray for you!

Let her know it is either the herion or you. explain to her you are there to help and you will stick with her. as the other posters said you can find free help, but if she does not want help it won't do any good. It has to be her choice,but if your not commited to helping each other deal with it or ditch her

First off, I wouldn't deal with someone that has that problem. Since you are willing to -- start with Narcotic's Anonymous for her and Al-Anon for you. Al-Anon helps the loved ones of addicted people to not be co-dependent in their help for that person, how to deal with their manipulation. Many drug addicts will say that they want to get off drugs to appease those around them, but often don't really mean it. Al-Anon can help you understand the difference.
Good luck -- I would personally take off if I found out someone I was dating was addicted to substances.

You can't do this alone, there are several free rehab places, call the drug help hotline at 1-800-784-6776 or look for their web page. You can't do this alone. Good luck, the road you are about to travel will be very difficult.

I would look for a methadone clinic. Some provide treatment for a minimal cost.

I couldn't be with someone with that addiction, but you should just be there for her and try not to have her around anybody that would give to her, or take her to the hospital, maybe they can help her to take her to rehab:) Good luck and Pray for her take her to church also, that seems like the best thing to do good luck

First, she has to want help- otherwise you're at a loss.
Second, start making calls to detoxes...many have charity beds or will take you and have you apply for medical assistance.

There has to be a free clinic or free help available.
I'm really glad you want to do something to help her. Good luck.
