Getting help for addiction shouldn’t be hard because of money issues. At Virtue Recovery Center, we know it’s key to have treatment that’s easy to get. We help people find free or low-cost rehab programs. Here’s how to find free rehab near you:
Utilize SAMHSA Resources #
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) has tools to help find free treatment. Use their online locator or call their helpline to find places near you that offer free or low-cost services.
