Since many of our rehab centers are sliding scale, we have provided the Federal Poverty Guidelines below. Visit the Fresh Start Ministries of Central FL 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%.
