There are times when a person is unable to afford substance use treatment services and does not have insurance coverage. Our department is able to assist in these situations on a case-by-case basis.
Our team will then assess the situation by gathering needed information to see if a person falls under the criteria where we may be able to assist in payment. Priority for treatment services, that are paid by any grant funding that may be available, is given to pregnant women seeking services. Services are provided only after a person meets criteria and then also signs a repayment agreement agreeing to make monthly payments to the department after services have been billed. Payments for services are made directly to the contracted agency. This service is also available for those that have Medical Assistance but are unable to pay the room and board costs that Medical Assistance does not cover through their benefit.
