Seeking rehab program as part of probation as well as to stay clean for myself and my family

I know I can live clean again, at this point I’m only using to stay well and no longer getting high. I use to be able to get to work and pay my bills. If I could get help to get through detox and get me back in the program, I’d be able To stay clean. Relapsing was the worst mistake of my life, especially after 2 years of clean time. I no longer have insurance and can’t afford to go to any facility

Free Rehab Centers in Nearby Cities

Since many of our rehab centers are sliding scale, we have provided the Federal Poverty Guidelines below. Visit the Lloyd C Elam Mental Health Center Meharry Medical College website listed above to see what the level is needed for free care based on your income from the sliding fee scale.

Federal Poverty Guidelines for 2024

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
8 $52,720

*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%.

I am currently homeless. For the past six or seven months before becoming homeless i was in an outpatient program at ABC health in Nashville receiving suboxone. Since then I've lost my home and my job . If I bring in a form of indigency can I still be seen outpatient for my suboxone? I have stayed clean and I am worried what my future may hold without suboxone therapy. If I can bring in my indigency form can I receive my suboxone? Do I need a referral from my past clinic? Can I go ahead and make an appointment and if so what number do I call so that I can make an outpatient appointment. Thank you for your time.
