 You didn't identify your country of origin, but I think this link has some good advice on prenatal care.

This link also provides a service locator on the right hand side of the page. If you are in the US and need to find free or low cost health care, you just type in your zip code and it will show you the nearby clinics.
Congratulations on your 3 month mark! That's a real accomplishment and I hope you continue this excellent progress.

 Oh dear.
If you can't even afford a pregnancy test then the next bit of advice might be impossible.
The best chance of keeping the pregnancy is life as healthy as possible. Fruits, vegetables a well balanced diet. No drugs, no smoking, no alcohol. Ideally you should stop these LONG before the pregnancy because withdrawal symptoms are bad for a pregnancy as well.
Don't mistake healthy food for going nuts, just the regular normal diet, do not become some kind of health nut overnight because the shock would do far more damage then junk food itself. Just make sure that fruit and vegetables are from now on a daily part of your intake.
But really, for the best advice for your situation you need to see a doctor. He will for instance have a diet list with food you need right now if you are pregnant.
If you are not pregnant right now, it will still be a good idea to eat healthy from now on for when you do become pregnant in the future.

 Its a huge change to your body and your life being pregnant. May I suggest waiting until you at least hit the 1 year mark for being clean?
Give your body time to recover and heal from all the damage that the drugs have done to it and just try not to stress. It will happen for you, you just need to give it time.
Good luck
