There are some alcohol and drug rehab programs that help people through their issues with alcohol and drug addiction without making them pay for their services. For example, there are state funded alcohol and drug rehab programs that are funded publicly or perhaps funded via both state or federal grants. Some of these facilities work out of mental health centers paid for by the state or funded via local municipalities, and substance abuse rehab facilities and clinics. Many of these centers have certain criteria that clients in Rio need to meet to get rehab, and individuals of lower income and who have no health insurance are the most common individuals at rehabs where there is no fee. To receive treatment at a treatment center where no payment is accepted, you will likely need to show your residency in the state and possibly your legal residency in the United States, provide information regarding income or lack thereof, and be open to a drug history assessment, mental health and physical health.
If someone if seeking a substance abuse treatment program where no payment is accepted, a great place to begin their search is with their state or local substance abuse and mental health agencies. An additional assistance source is local church organizations and similar faith-based organizations who run programs which include services for drug and alcohol dependency and addiction. A number of these groups even provide beds for individuals while they are in rehab and until they get back on their feet.
