New Jersey
New Jersey does not support strong parity legislation, and as such even if you have comprehensive private health insurance, you may find that your provider will not fund your drug treatment as they would fund any physical treatment that you might need.
Fortunately, for those who cannot afford a private drug or alcohol rehab, New Jersey also boasts several free or very affordable drug and alcohol rehabs. These free drug rehabs are either non profit and charitable organizations, or receive state funding for subsidized care. They do not, in general, turn people away for financial reasons.
Please review our listings of free drug rehabs within New Jersey, and also see how you can learn of your eligibility for state funded drug treatment.
