Second job I lost in the past 3 years due to alcohol use. I hide it from my best friend/wife but she must know to be honest. It's to the point that I drink just to stop my withdrawals. Feels like panic attacks.
Have you ever had free rehab before? How did you get in to the program?
Do they accept ex felons?
Since many of our rehab centers are sliding scale, we have provided the Federal Poverty Guidelines below. Visit the St. Bernard Center for Addictive Disorders 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%.
