When someone struggling with a drug and alcohol disorder makes a life-changing decision to reach out for help from a rehabilitation center, they are essentially making one of the biggest decisions of their life. Typically, we see one of the biggest barriers to someone making this decision comes down to the costs of a rehabilitation center. These centers can be costly.

Check Insurance Coverage
MMR form
The cost for an in-stay rehabilitation center runs between$ 2,000 and 25,000. In most cases, these centers accept most insurance plans helping with the average cost of the stay. On the other hand, the ones struggling with a drug and alcohol disorder who do not have any insurance coverage can find themselves feeling hopeless in this situation.
The CDC’s National Center of Health Statistics found in a recent study that 31 million Americans were uninsured in 2021. What does this mean for those struggling?
This is where State-Funded Rehabilitation Centers can be very advantageous. A state-funded rehab center is a program funded by the government or state level. The money to run these programs typically comes from grants from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). Though these facilities are state-funded, they are still fully stated with clinical therapists, medical staff, and support. State-funded facilities offer detox, counseling, and in-stay care.
For those who are reading this article and find themselves resonating, they may find themselves asking how can I qualify for a state-funded drug rehab center? These centers are need-based, meaning state-by-state qualifications may differ. Typically, to be admitted a proof of identity, proof of residence, proof of legal status in the United States, and proof of income are needed to qualify. These facilities may also do an assessment of the individual’s background and history of use.
How Can I Find a State-Funded Rehab Center?
Another concern may be where can I find these facilities? SAMHSA has a directory that can be very useful. Online or over the phone, they can direct you to a local facility. Make sure your information is readily available to help speed up your process.
Since there are so many uninsured Americans suffering from drug and alcohol abuse, there can be a waiting list for these facilities. Don’t let this get you down as beds can open just as quickly as they can fill up due to high-priority patients or facilities that accept certain population groups such as teens, women, pregnant women, men, etc.
Another reservation that people may have about state-funded addiction treatment facilities is the programming. Because these are state-funded facilities they may not have the most up-to-date technology. This does not mean the quality of care received from medical professionals and therapists is any less effective.
Just because you are insured or have a lower level of income does not mean you need to go without treatment or don’t deserve the same opportunity to help change your life.
