Their mission is the diagnosis and treatment of abuse and dependency related to alcohol and drugs as well as addressing the thinking errors associated with chemical dependency. First Step believe that alcoholism and drug addiction should be treated as a health issue ratherthan a moral issue, and their outpatient program allows individuals to remain in their homes and continue with their jobs and family life.

Since many of our rehab centers are sliding scale, we have provided the Federal Poverty Guidelines below. Visit the First Step Counseling Services Brookings 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 |
| 5 | $36,580 |

*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%.
