Substance abuse/mental health help in San Jose?

[Ironica]

Hi ladies... I've come to learn that a friend of a friend (who I'm also acquainted with) is having some very serious issues. She's got no job and no insurance, so I'm wondering if anyone knows of good resources for getting her some help. She's off meds for a diagnosed psychiatric issue and doing soft drugs so far, but you know how these things go. She's got two awesome kids (ages 13 and 10) who are afraid to be with her (and fortunately have other options). There are friends and family who want to help and support her, but can't take on the financial burden.

So if anyone can point in the direction of a good organization, that'd be great! I don't know what her beliefs are, but at this point I'm thinking secular would be better.

Hi- I just had a co-worker go to NewBridges in Berkeley, CA. I know you requested San Jose, but I wanted to just give you the alternative. There were 3 different places that deal with addictions that were in-treatment/out-treatment and extended 6-3 year treatment. I went and toured NewBridges and it was amazing! Immeadiately I felt so safe and welcome there. Their treatment facility is in a historic house in the NICE berkeley hills area. The patient rooms are amazing!!!! Magnificent view- they also have all sorts of PT activities, yoga, weights, actupunture! Its amazing!
Hoping to help-

I dont think Religion plays a part in this program. But I was also not involved in my friends rehab.

That sounds like a pay place. Are they a non-profit? Do they do eligibility work or grant-based treatment?

She has *no* resources right now, and will probably be homeless soon if things don't get turned around.
