Are you looking into the Salvation Army at all? While I'm a product of one of their rehabilitation centers, I "failed out" of the "work therapy" center I first went to. 10 hours per day spent in a vast warehouse, sorting donations, all for the room and board. Bedbugs were rampant, staff abuses commonplace: female staff keeping several male patients for sex, with the female patients in similar circumstances.

Thankfully I found another center, also Salvation army, which focused on healing, not capitalism. 10 years of sobriety later, I owe that second place a lot, but I still remember the first "work therapy" based location.

Thank you for your work. Addicts may not be very fun to work with, but we are still human.

my parents have a dentist they go to who charges them about a third of the amount than if they went through their insurance. No longer applies because they both hit the age where they can get everything covered by medicare, supplemented by my dad's insurance from 22 years in the navy.

Wasn't the point of going there because the divorce laws were infinitely more fair to both parties? As opposed to every other state favoring the husband. My understanding is that SD was the only state which had voting for both sexes from statehood, though they still had to be white.
