- SAMHSA’s definition: “Variable prices for services based on a person’s ability to pay.” SAMHSA’s name for it: “Sliding fee scale (fee is based on income and other factors)”. Source: SAMHSA, National Directories 2025, code reference.

- SAMHSA’s definition: “A program which helps low-income, uninsured, or underinsured patients who need help paying for all or part of their medical bills.” SAMHSA adds: check with the facility for details. Source: SAMHSA, National Directories 2025, code reference.
- Not listed
- The directory doesn’t list this for the place: the facility didn’t report it. It isn’t a no: call the place to ask. Source: How this site reads each directory.

What this record can’t tell you
- SAMHSA’s listing is reported by the facility; it isn’t an inspection or a rating, and a facility’s state licence and inspections are separate.
- It is SAMHSA’s 2025 directory, from the facility’s own answers to SAMHSA’s 2024 survey, so its services, payment and hours may have changed since. FindTreatment.gov, SAMHSA’s online listing, is more current: SAMHSA updates it weekly for facilities that tell it of changes, and adds new facilities monthly.
- It can’t say whether the facility has room, takes your insurance plan or what treatment costs, and it holds no reviews or outcomes: call to ask.
- SAMHSA’s directory gives no county: its county is where the Census Bureau’s geocoder places its street address.
