You really have to browse around for free/cheap mental health/addiction services, or places that have a “sliding scale” payment plan, where you’re essentially subsidized by other people, or stuff like that. A lot of that is pretty steeped in various churches, so that may be an issue (you can always fake being religious in a program like AA, but dishonesty is often counterproductive when getting sober, so I’m not sure someone like me could ever get any benefit from AA). Another option (at least assuming you’re in the US) is to find a “just for the benefits” job. i.e. something that may be a little soul-killing and doesn’t offer any sort of future in its own right, but offers good health benefits. Another option is moving, at least in the short term, to a place with better access to healthcare, long enough to get this sorted out. If alcohol is an issue, I recommend against Australia 😉
