1. Contact the main headquarters of The Salvation Army.
They have different divisions. . . they provide food and clothing, shelter, they have “recovery programs from drugs”, and I’m sure they provide other services.

2. You might wish to visit the “Wikipedia.org” web site, and go to their page on The Salvation Army.

3. Oh, one more thing. . . At Christmas time, the Salvation Army workers serve as bell-ringers to take donations. I think they start in November and work throughout the Christmas season, but I’m not exactly sure.

Hope that helps. Call them and ask for a fact sheet, or a brochure.

Question by : Can the uninsured and unemployed go to alcohol rehab too?
Ok, I am 20 years old now and I am no longer in denial of being an alcoholic. I realize it now. My life is so messed up and I want to change before things get even worse. The only problem is that now I am jobless again due to my alcoholism and I am close to broke. Do rehabs accept people with no insurance or a job even? Thank you…..

Question by Nick: Volunteering on the Salvation Army Website?
I was hoping to offer my time to volunteer somewhere. I’ve been looking to volunteer anywhere in downtown Chicago (I’ll take the train but I don’t mind walking since I like being in Chicago).

Anyways, what I did was put the zip code in at the top (one of the Chicago zips – 60602) and I got to this:

http://www.salvationarmyusa.org/ndos/app/zipcode.jsf?zip=60602

Looking at this page, my best guess would be that I need to Email the people involved and ask them when volunteers are needed? So, I guess my question is just to confirm that. What do you guys think?

Also, what does “Adult Rehabilitation” refer to? Is that detox.
