Overcoming drug and alcohol addiction takes grit and determination. Many people with addiction are uninsured or underinsured; and therefore, the high cost of addiction treatment or rehab is unaffordable for most. Moreover, It is not unusual for an addict to be unemployed, impoverished, or even homeless.
Below is a list of resources for those in need of addiction assistance who lack the financial resources to otherwise afford treatment.

Medication assistance can be offered in the way of Patient Assistance Programs (PAPs), which are created by pharmaceutical companies to provide free or discounted medicines to those unable to afford their medications who meet the specific criteria of the PAP. Each program has its own qualifying criteria.
