Finding treatment can be difficult—especially for people without health insurance or with limited coverage.
To qualify for placement at a state-funded facility, individuals must complete an ADMH Integrated Placement Assessment, based on the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) criteria.
Without insurance, ASAM assessments may cost anywhere from $75–$150, the typical fee for a licensed clinician. However, our Recovery Resource Hub provides these assessments free of charge in order to remove this barrier to treatment.

She's Your peer support through the whole process
When you reach out to Partnership, we start working for you right away. We understand the urgency of getting prompt support––whether from our specialized training, from personal experience, or both. Together we will:
Intake: Tell us your story and what led you to us. If you need a FREE assessment, we'll get you scheduled ASAP. If an assessment is not necessary, we can still help with our Case Management or Peer Support.
Assessment: Meet with a clinical assessor for an in-person or remote ASAM assessment.
Referrals: Referrals are sent to 3 treatment facilities matching your level of care.
Follow Up: An assessment is just the 1st step in your recovery journey, so it's critical you reach out to the treatment facilities and take the necessary steps toward treatment. We'll be there every step of the way.
Taking that first step can be incredibly hard. And trusting someone to be your advocate is usually even harder. That’s why we strive to be an open book. If we don’t have an answer to your questions here already, please reach out. Ask us anything. There’s almost nothing you could say that would surprise us.
