Low-Cost and Free Addiction Treatment Options

Whether you lack the resources to pay for rehab or need some financial assistance to cover your costs, check out these discounted and free treatment options:

• Government-funded treatment centers: These state-licensed facilities, which include methadone clinics, get funding from state and federal sources. These subsidies allow them to provide low-cost or free addiction treatment to economically disadvantaged populations.
• Sliding scale rehab facilities: These facilities offer discounted treatment services for people who cannot afford to pay for the full cost of their care. Each patient’s overall costs are based on their income, and the lower a person’s income is, the less they pay.
• Rehab scholarships: Rehab scholarships can partially or fully cover the cost of an addiction treatment program, depending on the donor organization. Some rehab facilities offer this type of aid in-house, while others partner with third-party donors who fund treatment for qualifying patients.

Paying for Rehab With Private Insurance

If you have a private health insurance plan, it should cover various inpatient and outpatient addiction treatment services. But keep in mind your plan likely has coverage limits and other stipulations that affect how much your insurance will pay. It may also have a provider network, and if it does, you must choose a drug or alcohol rehab in Lewisville that’s approved by your insurer.

Paying for Treatment With Medicare or Medicaid

Both Medicare and Texas Medicaid cover various “medically necessary” outpatient and inpatient addiction treatment and therapy services. Medically necessary means that the treatment services must be recommended for you by a qualified and licensed health care provider.

If you don’t have health insurance but would like to get it, you may be eligible for either of these plans.

You may also qualify as a younger person if you have a chronic disability.⁸
