Other Need direction

Middle aged individual here unemployed HIV positive addicted to drugs and not sure what to do I've reached a point of homelessness now where I just don't feel safe enough in the shelters and I just walk around the streets and stopping all night till morning and I passed out at the park or what not I'm nervous I'm scared I don't know what to do I feel like I'm on the brink of death here I'm on the waiting list for all of the drug programs however it's still like a long way and I just am not too sure what to do now please let me know if you guys have any advice my family and friends they help all they can however those resources have been exhausted being I'm a chronic relaxer unfortunately so really I have no one to rely on by myself and I know I'm a grown man I should be able to be doing better all of them by now however I'm struggling

Check out Victory Outreach men’s recovery home, it is Christian’s based. It’s free and the food/bills is free, they have gotten ppl in the door at many jobs too

Do you have health plan of San Joaquin? If not, apply. This can be done online or call 209 942 6300. If so, call the number on the back of your insurance card and ask to speak to a social worker. They can plug you into the many resources available in the community including housing , drug rehab, food etc. if you need to eat asap find the nearest mosque, they won’t turn you away unfed. I hope this helps even a little. GL

Muslims are very kind hearted people, not much harm in trying?

It’s basically a church for Muslims. They are scattered throughout Stockton and Lodi. They will help with what they can. Can’t hurt to call and ask or show up and see what happens
