Free & Low-Cost Rehab in Arizona

304 of the 373 Arizona programs in our directory are government-run, offer reduced fees or accept Medicaid. Call a program to confirm what it charges and whether you qualify.

How Arizona Programs Handle Cost

No payment accepted
0Programs that report they do not charge patients.
Government-run
22Run by a state, county, tribal or federal agency. Some still bill insurance or use a sliding scale. 8 are VA, military or Indian Health Service programs that serve only eligible patients.
Sliding fee scale
113The fee is based on your income and other factors.
Payment assistance
69The program offers some help paying. Ask what it covers.

280Takes AHCCCS. What's covered depends on your plan and the service.
State-financed insurance
194Accepts a state-funded health plan other than Medicaid.

Who Qualifies for Free Treatment

There's no single national rule. Each state runs its own publicly funded treatment system and sets its own eligibility rules. In Arizona, Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS) oversees publicly funded substance use services.

Federal rules do set some priorities. Programs that get SAMHSA substance use block grant funds and serve women have to give pregnant women preference for admission. Funded programs that serve people who inject drugs give treatment preference in this order:

  1. Pregnant women who inject drugs
  2. Other pregnant women with a substance use disorder
  3. People who inject drugs
  4. Everyone else

A program that reports "no payment accepted" doesn't charge patients. Government-run programs may still bill insurance or use a sliding scale, and eligibility can depend on where you live, your income and whether you're insured. Ask before you go.

How to Apply in Arizona

Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS) is the Arizona agency for publicly funded substance use treatment. Visit the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS) website for help finding treatment.

  1. Call a program from the list above. Ask whether it has openings, what it charges and whether you qualify for a reduced or no-cost fee.
  2. Have your ID, proof of income and any insurance or Medicaid card ready. Programs may ask for them at intake.
  3. If you don't have insurance, contact SAMHSA's National Helpline. It's free, confidential and open 24/7, and it can refer you to Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS), which handles state-funded treatment.
  4. If you might qualify for Medicaid, apply now rather than waiting. Apply for AHCCCS.

Arizona Medicaid and Addiction Treatment

280 of the 373 Arizona programs in our directory say they accept Medicaid, and 194 accept a state-financed health plan other than Medicaid. Arizona's Medicaid program is AHCCCS.

State Medicaid programs cover addiction treatment to different degrees. Whether detox, residential care, outpatient programs or medication for opioid use disorder are covered depends on Arizona's rules and your plan, so check with both the program and your plan. Check eligibility and apply.

In Arizona, substance use treatment programs are licensed or certified by Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS), Bureau of Behavioral Health Facilities Licensing. Check the state's provider list.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is rehab free in Arizona?

None of the 373 Arizona programs in our directory report that they accept no payment, but 22 are run by a state, county, tribal or federal agency and may be free or low-cost for people who qualify. Of the government-run programs, 8 are run by the VA, the Department of Defense or the Indian Health Service. Those programs serve only eligible veterans, military health system patients or American Indian and Alaska Native patients. Ask about cost and eligibility when you call. If you have no insurance, SAMHSA's National Helpline (see samhsa.gov) can refer you to Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS), which handles state-funded treatment.

Does Arizona Medicaid cover rehab?

280 of the 373 Arizona programs in our directory say they accept Medicaid. Arizona's Medicaid program is AHCCCS. State Medicaid programs cover addiction treatment to different degrees, so ask the program and your Medicaid plan which services are covered before you start.

How much does rehab cost without insurance?

It depends on the type of care, how long it lasts and the program itself. Outpatient care usually costs less than a residential stay. In Arizona, 113 programs in our directory use a sliding fee scale based on income, and 69 offer payment assistance. Ask for the self-pay rate and whether you qualify for a reduced fee before you're admitted.

Who gets priority for state-funded treatment?

Under federal block grant rules, programs that get block grant funds and serve women must give pregnant women preference for admission. Funded programs that serve people who inject drugs give treatment preference in this order: pregnant women who inject drugs, other pregnant women with a substance use disorder, people who inject drugs, and then everyone else (45 CFR 96.131). Other eligibility rules vary by state, so ask the program or Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS).

What is the difference between a sliding fee scale and payment assistance?

A sliding fee scale sets what you pay based on your income and other factors. Payment assistance varies more: each program decides what help it offers, so ask what's available and what paperwork you'll need.

Are there options for veterans and tribal members?

Yes. Veterans can ask the VA about substance use treatment through VA health care. American Indian and Alaska Native people can contact the Indian Health Service or a tribal health program about alcohol and substance use services.
