Since many of our rehab centers are sliding scale, we have provided the Federal Poverty Guidelines below. Visit the First Stop Recovery 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 |
| 6 | $41,960 |
| 7 | $47,340 |

*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%.
My little brother just got released from a 30 day rehab center, was put on methadone and lithium. So in looking for a place for him to continue his treatment and continue getting help because he doesn't want to go back to the streets he wants inpatient help and a place to continue his treatment. My mom called this place the man on the phone told her to just tell him to come to them they will take care of everything and figure it out. upon my brother going there today he was treated so badly, the conversation ended with them telling him to just kill himself that they don't take people on methadone and lithium. Which could of been said on the phone when my mother called. needless to say don't waste your time with this place, absolute disgrace.
Very strict program with a 90 days block-out. It is a boot-camp with a strong recovery track. Do not go there if you expect cushy pillows, soft institutional approach to recovery. This place is not licensed to manage MAT. It is straight cold Turkey detox or expects you completed detox process in another facility.
