As the U.S. heroin epidemic grows, so does the wait list for federally-funded rehab.

In Massachusetts, substance abusers have to wait weeks to get help. In Florida, it’s a month.

Wait times are as long as 18 months in Maine.

One Ohio woman couldn’t wait. That’s why she asked a judge to send her to jail so she could get clean. “There’s no help out there anymore,” Kayla Dempsey told c. “There’s a three-month waiting list for any rehab around here because of the heroin epidemic.”
