text: my brother has a serious drinking problem and has no health insurance. are there any resources to get him help he needs to be in a detox program with financial aid or charity care. have him look up smart recovery (at www.smartrecovery.org) and www.peele.net. also try rational recovery. these are free services, face-to-face meetings are available in some places and they will serve the purpose of keeping him away from the 12-step goons.
