Since many of our rehab centers are sliding scale, we have provided the Federal Poverty Guidelines below. Visit the Central Nebraska Council on Alcoholism 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 |
| 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 trying to find a treatment center for my 67 yr. old brother who has been a alcoholic off and on since he was a teenager.He is in really bad shape and probably won't last long if we can't find help for him. It seems that alot of the rehabs are either full or too expensive.. He has a railroad retirement that pays him arounf 2400.00 each month otherwise he is homeless and has nothing. He was evicted from his apartment and lost everything he owned. I'm getting kind of desperate, and not having much luck finding somewhere for him to get help in the state of Nebraska that isn't too far away.
