No client will be denied services based on their ability to pay. No deposits will be accepted to secure transitional living bed space. When available, Step 1 will utilize SAPTA/BHPT funds to pay for the clients transitional living expenses. However, the client will still be required to obtain employment within one to two weeks of admission.
As a client of the Step 1 Transitional Living Program, you will be given a unique opportunity.
- You must begin a savings account immediately. This is mandatory. Your weekly savings amount will be in accordance with your income. This will also be contingent upon you providing verifying information.
- You will be required to save earnings each week and provide proof of savings with a deposit slip or by saving with the Step 1 Administrative Office.
- All monies saved will be returned to you upon exit.
Client savings fees will be assessed utilizing an in-house sliding fee scale. An agreement will be made during intake and the signed/initialed agreement retained in the client chart. Rates are in accordance with Federal Poverty Guidelines.
Outpatient Substance Abuse Counseling Rates will be contingent upon the client enrolling in Medicaid and/or a health insurance plan that covers behavioral health issues. Step 1 only accepts original Medicaid, Anthem Medicaid, Molina, and Silver Summit Health Plan Insurance at this time.
All clients will be assessed for Medicaid eligibility and enrollment. If the client is covered, Step 1 staff will submit claims to the health care organization for reimbursement and payment of applicable services.
