Free and low-cost rehab in the United States

6,366 treatment facilities across the US are listed as free and low-cost rehab providers. 637 offer medical detox, 832 offer residential care, and 3,196 offer medication-assisted treatment. Facilities that report offering a sliding fee scale, where what you pay is set by your income rather than a fixed price.

Sliding-scale and grant-funded programmes are the least visible part of the treatment system precisely because they are not commercially marketed.

Common questions

Is there free drug rehab in the United States?
6,366 facilities in the United States report offering a sliding fee scale, where the cost is based on your income and can fall to little or nothing for those who qualify. Truly free programmes usually mean state-funded or grant-funded beds; ask the facility directly what applies to your situation.
How do I get treatment in the United States without insurance?
Sliding-scale facilities are the usual route. Bring proof of income when you call. 637 of the facilities listed here provide medical detox. The SAMHSA National Helpline (1-800-662-4357) is free, confidential, and can help find state-funded options.
What does sliding scale mean for rehab cost?
It means the facility sets your fee against your income and household size instead of charging a single price. Each facility sets its own scale, so two facilities can quote very different amounts for the same income.

Counts reflect what facilities report to SAMHSA and are recalculated from the directory on each build. Inclusion is not an endorsement. Confirm services and cost with the facility.
