In Summary

The Kingsboro Addiction Treatment Center has a very respectable two decades of experience in offering treatment services to those with substance abuse issues. What is more, perhaps is that Kingsboro operates under the directive that treatment will not be denied to anyone due to inability to pay. While cost of care should be covered by most insurance the sliding scale fees available for those paying out of pocket ensure that care is affordable.
