Where to find Free Rehabs in California?

Free Rehab in California

If you have developed a dependence on drugs or alcohol and are seeking treatment and are without funds, there’s still hope. But for those seeking a Free Rehab in California for addiction, there are various things that need to be thought about. The first thing to notice is the question concerning where the treatment facility gets their financing.

Listed below are the three different types of Free rehabs in California

State Funded Rehab in California:

California has seen a significant rise in the prison population over the last 15 years and most of this is due to non-violent drug and alcohol-related crimes. The state has funds that are allocated to different treatment centers throughout the state of California allowing for people to be placed in a free treatment center for addictions. The state has been offering deferred prosecution programs but it is up to the individual to find the treatment program themselves. This program is saving California money by diverting low-level offenders to state funded programs enabling them to brutalize federal funds to cover some of the cost of treatment. If you have an open cast that is a first-time offender drug related crime, you may be eligible for either a court ordered program or need to locate a program yourself, in California.

These types of facilities receive some form of funding through grants or subsidies from the government at a state or county level. Often these types of treatment programs are closely connected to a court system and can have a high degree of “court mandated” clients. These types of treatment centers also may have a lengthy waiting list, especially during the winter months.

Vocational Rehab in California:

The state agency designated by the Rehabilitation Service Administration (RSA) to determine whether an individual is eligible to receive vocational rehabilitation (VR) services in California is the Department of Rehabilitation (DOR).

These types of facilities receive their funding through the clients working for the treatment program. Often these programs also have a heavy Christian component in conjunction with the work element. Salvation Army and Teen Challenge are two examples of a Vocational Rehab.

Donation based rehab: These types of facilities often have the majority, if not all, or their funding provided by an individual or organization. This also may include a private rehab facility that may have a “scholarship” bed, although today scholarshipped beds are almost non-existant in private care facilities. Overall, donation based rehabs are extremely rare, unless supported fully by a connected church or organization.
