Public insurance should pay for part of rehab. If your friend isn’t working he should see about getting on his state’s Medicaid insurance if he hasn’t already. Private insurance might not pay, and neither will probably pay in full (although Medicaid might), because rehab has a very low success rate with long term change. So insurance doesn’t see it as worth much of their money
This is why IMO it’s not worth shelling out lots of money for one of the fancy rehabs. Most people end up relapsing after they get out. This is usually due to, like ED said, not cutting ties to their previous hookups, but also romanticizing their memory of the substance after some time away and deciding that “this time I will control it better”
Aside from cutting ties with all hookups and friends that use, the person should stop any activity they exclusively did while high. If they only played EQ high then they should stop EQ. There will be a mental connection in their mind with the activity to the drug and it will make their cravings much worse
Replacing the drug with exercise can help, has for a decent amount of people
