What if a Person Only Has a Low Income? How Can He Find a Good Addiction Treatment Program?

Question by amber ns: What if a person only has a low income? How can he find a good addiction treatment program?
I know that programs like these are really costly. What about those people who really want to change but just can’t stop because of withdrawal symptoms and can’t afford to have themselves rehabilitated at treatment centers? Is there a solution to this problem?

Well, they could still get themselves treated. There are now state-funded treatment programs available for indigent or low-income persons in need of treatment regarding their alcohol or drug dependency. For those who are deemed unemployable due to their addiction, they are actually eligible to apply for treatment under the Alcohol and Drug Addiction Treatment and Support Act. This way, though they are short on cash, they can still get themselves sober.
