There are 2000 free or affordable drug and alcohol rehabs in operation, these non profit or charity programs base entry on your need for help. Private facilities reserve a certain number of treatment beds for those in need of subsidized care, but the fees are based on your income. There are hundreds of treatment facilities General Non Profit Rehabs in America that serve lower income and uninsured participants. The Salvation Army and Gospel Mission Programs tend to be long term, free of charge, and open to all willing to participate in a Faith based programs. Usually county funded rehabs will be willing to take you without insurance but there are long waiting lists.
