Go to the library and read everything you can by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer. One of his books is called "Real Magic". It's a self help book that teaches you how to be happy, successful, healthy and prosperous in daily life through positive thinking. If you change your mind, you can change your addictions. Also, you need professional help to get off the drugs. You can go to a woman's shelter and get help through various programs. You have to be clean to get in though, so you need to quit for a couple weeks before trying to go to a shelter. They have all sorts of addiction classes and can help you get medical care, but you can't go in there on drugs.
I lived in shelters for 3 years until my Social Security Disability benefits were approved. They took good care of me. You might try attending a local church once you get moved. There are dozens of shelters run by the government. Get cleaned up and try getting in one of them. Good Luck!

Talk with a doctor and let them know you wish to clean up, you have nowhere to go and need help doing this. Let them know you want to go to rehab for this help. They will put you in the facility, allow you to also get the education you need to get on your own two feet. Before you are complete they will help you with a job and finding your own place to go. If you are really serious you will try this and it will work as long as you don't give up!!!

You're at a great stage, find professional help close to where you are as soon as possible and you can get better. Then you can discuss your options and find ways overcome your addiction. Good luck, it will be the best thing you ever do.

put drug addiction in your browser...enter...you will find many sites to help you..there are facilites in all communities to give you a place to stay and help getting rid of the addiction. Telephone the nearest....unfortunately...at least in florida..you have to have the drug in you before you can be admitted...a friend had to buy a fix for his daughter before she would be admitted for help

Go to a farmacodependant shelter. Talk to a social worker there, they can do something about your economic situation.
