Q: IF I DO NOT HAVE INSURANCE OR ADEQUATE FINANCIAL RESOURCES CAN I STILL RECEIVE SERVICES?

Yes. The ADAMH Board provides funds specifically to its contract agencies to ensure services are available regardless of your inability to pay. Our contract agencies provide services on what is called a “sliding fee scale,” which means that the fees for your services are based on the size of your family and the amount of your income. It ranges from 10% of the fees, to 100% of the fees. Most people find the sliding fee scale meets their needs in assisting with the payment for services.
