Free/low-cost rehab in Bronx county pertains to a type of substance abuse treatment that is meant to be affordable to people who are struggling with substance abuse, over and above their homelessness, poverty, and/or unemployment.
Through free and low cost treatment, many people who may not otherwise have been able to afford any sort of professional treatment, can receive the help that they need.
Both as a theoretical and a practical concept, free/low-cost drug rehab can be considered a medical necessity. This is because most people struggling with severe addiction also have financial hardships - and addiction and poverty seem to be interrelated.
Today, it is possible to get this form of treatment through a wide variety of approaches. For starters, there are several programs that offer recovery services at a discount or even free of charge to patients who are in poverty.
There are also various state-funded rehabs in Bronx County that accept state residents into their programs. In such a program, you would have to provide proof of your identity, residence status, and current employment and financial status before you can be admitted for treatment.
Lastly, there are faith-based groups that run addiction recovery services - such as the Salvation Army and Teen Challenge programs. These programs and many other faith-based recovery programs are free or low-cost and distributed throughout the U.S.
We can help you find the right treatment facility that best fits your overall needs and financial requirements.
