Answer to your Question
Question: My cousin and his wife have admitted to getting hooked on pain killers and other pills. They are a wreck and asking for help and trying to get help with a methadone clinic but it doesn't seem to be working. They have no health insurance and no money, they don't qualify for a medical (welfare) card. What else can they do? What else can I do to help them?
