Anyone who needs treatment, is willing to get it, and is unable to afford it is welcome to apply for scholarship funding. All those willing and in need—whether that’s you, a loved one, or a patient—will be considered.

The first step is for each applicant and/or referring treatment center to fill out a simple application (request an application at the bottom of this page). Our scholarship qualification committee then reviews the application and sets up a screening interview to better understand the type of support that is needed, the level of financial assistance required, and the willingness of the individual to comply with all clinical recommendations should assistance be granted. 

The RRF team is comprised of leaders with lived experience. We deeply understand the importance of urgency when a person is ready and willing to seek help. We aim to make decisions as quickly as possible. If funding is approved, we will coordinate care and funding with our partners and develop a plan to start down the path of recovery.

The services and resources our scholarship funding covers include:

• Inpatient treatment centers.
• Interventionists.
• Outpatient treatment centers.
• Individual therapists, psychologists and psychiatrists.
• Recovery coaches.

While the Release Foundation can’t assist every single applicant, our whole team is here to help in any way we can. If we are unable to fund an applicant, we will strive to point them in the right direction and connect them to other resources.
