Financing Alcohol and Drug Rehab in New Bedford, MA

The cost of rehab in New Bedford, MA, doesn’t have to be an obstacle to getting the help you need. You may be able to find payment assistance to help you get care.

Government-funded rehab facilities: When rehab programs get funding from the local, state, or federal government, they can use that money to offer free or low-cost care to people who might not be able to afford care otherwise. Many methadone clinics are federally funded.

Grant-funded rehabs: Some rehab programs receive outside funding from SAMHSA and other private organizations. The rehabs then use the funding to increase the number of people they can serve or reduce care fees. Grant-funded rehab may include inpatient or outpatient treatment.

Rehab scholarships: There are certain churches and organizations like 10,000 Beds that offer scholarships to help individuals cover the costs of rehab. Some rehabs have scholarship funding available as well. Scholarship funds cover some or all of your care.
