Answer by todd
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.

Answer by goldielocks123
What do you mean by recovery? Bipolar doesn’t go away. You can get treatment that will help you manage your symptoms. Do you have a local hospital? Call your Dept of Mental Health if you live in a place where they have one.
