FUNDING & FEES:

The Iberville Parish Substance Abuse Center is funded through grants from the Iberville Parish Council and the Capital Area Human Services District, the 18^th Judicial District Court, Plaquemine City Court and client fees. Less than 30% of the total funding of IPSAC comes from the taxes of Iberville residents. It has been estimated that the successful substance abuse treatment of six people (thus keeping them out of the criminal justice system) will save Iberville taxpayers more money than the parish provides for the operation of IPSAC.

Program fees

The treatment program is funded primarily through grants from the parish and state. Client fees are on a "sliding fee scale" and no one is denied treatment because of an inability to pay.
