Financial Assistance and Scholarships for Students in Rehabilitation

It can be difficult to balance recovery and education, particularly when added pressure comes from financial stress. Fortunately, scholarships and financial aid for students in treatment exist to help them focus on continuing both recovery and education.

These resources can also fund tuition, housing, or treatment to help someone focus on a successful future.  At 12 South Recovery, we firmly believe that financial barriers should not prevent your bright future from becoming a reality.

The Importance of Financial Support in Recovery

Navigating Financial Challenges

Rehabilitation is an essential part of rebuilding a healthy, meaningful life. At 12 South Recovery, we understand that the cost of treatment can feel overwhelming. Worrying about finances should never stand in the way of getting the help you need. At 12 South Recovery, we’re here to remind you that you’re not alone in this. We believe recovery should be accessible to everyone, which is why we offer multiple options for financial assistance and scholarships. Whether you’re a student trying to stay in school while healing or someone working to get back on your feet, you don’t have to do it alone. Our team is here to guide you through the process and help you find the support you need.

Exploring Financial Assistance Options

Understanding Your Insurance Coverage

Before diving into other financial options, it is helpful to take a look at your insurance. You may be more covered than you think! As you might already know, many insurance plans provide benefits for addiction treatment and mental health services, but figuring out your coverage could be confusing, even when you are not going through a difficult time. At 12 South Recovery, we will remove that burden from you. We will help you verify your insurance, break your benefits down in layman’s terms, all while ensuring that you are utilizing all your available resources. You are never alone as we will walk through it together, step-by-step.

Government Grants and Programs

The road to recovery isn’t always an easy path, and worrying about how to pay for it doesn’t help. Thankfully, there are a variety of government-funded grants and programs designed for individuals looking to find addiction treatment and are also financially strapped.

Government grants are available at the federal, state, and local level and provide funding for addiction recovery treatments and services depending on the type of treatment and modality. Treatment can be expensive; however, if you qualify for and raise funding, you may reduce or eliminate your out of pocket expenses. Many addiction treatment services are not only inpatient; they may be outpatient and also provide treatment for co-occurring health disorders.

Scholarships for Students

At 12 South Recovery, we understand that managing school, self-growth, and recovery can be overwhelming when dealing with addiction as a student. You don’t have to do it alone. This is why we offer scholarships exclusively for students who are ready to recover from addiction. These scholarships provide more than financial assistance, they’re a reflection of our belief in your potential. We consider a range of factors including financial need, academic goals, and commitment to a sober and meaningful life.

Financial Assistance from Nonprofits

Everyone is entitled to recovery without having to delay it over finances. There are many nonprofit organizations that are dedicated to helping people gain access to treatment by providing financial resources for addiction treatment.

These nonprofit organizations exist to support individuals like you, those ready to take a courageous step toward recovery. They’re here to help when the cost of treatment feels out of reach. There are resources like grants, scholarships for treatment, and other resources available as well.

The Application Process

Applying for Financial Assistance

The scholarship and financial assistance process can feel daunting, especially in recovery— but remember you do not have to do it alone. We will support you in making the process manageable and less intimidating. Our team will walk you through each step of the application process, including collecting the relevant documents, filling out the applications, and making sure that deadlines are met. We will clearly explain the process to you, help keep you encouraged as you go along, and connect you with the support you are entitled to. Getting the support you are entitled to should not be stressful, but part of your healing process.
