Since many of our rehab centers are sliding scale, we have provided the Federal Poverty Guidelines below. Visit the Aegis Bakersfield West Columbus St website listed above to see what the level is needed for free care based on your income from the sliding fee scale.
| Persons In Family Household | Poverty Guideline Salary per year |
|---|---|
| 1 | $15,060 |
| 2 | $20,440 |
| 3 | $25,820 |
| 4 | $31,200 |

*Alaska and Hawaii have different rates for HUD federal poverty guidelines.
These numbers above represent 100% of the Federal Poverty Rate. In order to get reduced or free treatment from some substance abuse centers, they use a sliding fee scale based on your income.
When they use a sliding fee scale, the 100% rate can be different than 100%. In those cases, using for example a 200% federal poverty level, you will only need double the 100% number listed above to 200%.
Sometimes the desk help needs to show a little compassion to the people that make it possible for them to have a job , a lot of the time they are rude as hell, they act like the clients do not have anything else to do but sit at the clinic and wait on them , some of us have a job to get to just like them . Thanks
