GET HELP LOCATING A DRUG TREATMENT PROGRAM
The expense for drug addiction treatment in Gunpowder is generally far more than many addicts are able to pay for. Many drug addicted individuals put off getting the help they need because they feel that they are unable to afford treatment. There are many drug rehab programs that offer payment assistance (check with facility for details) for clients with lower income levels. The only way to know if you meet the requirements for any type of payment assistance is to contact the drug treatment facility directly and speak with their billing/financial department. They will be able to go over all the options readily available and work with you directly on setting up a payment plan that operates for both you and the rehab.
