I've tried to quit drinking numerous times. Never successful. I have been going to ask meeting but can't get over this urge to relapse. I quit smoking meth 9 years ago after a 4 year addiction. I'm afraid if I continue to drink I with relapse with meth. I know I need help I just can't afford it.
Have you ever had free rehab before? How did you get in to the program?
Yes, I called for treatment via OHP in Oregon and was put on a waiting list until a bed opened up

Since many of our rehab centers are sliding scale, we have provided the Federal Poverty Guidelines below. Visit the Merit Resource Services 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 |

| 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%.
