A kind of payment assistance that some drug rehab facilities can give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can provide some degree of self-payment, these facilities provide financial aid on a case-by-case basis that can lower the cost of treatment so that it is affordable for that particular client. How this typically works is the individual will have to meet certain criteria and requirements for payment assistance, and will have to provide information about how many dependents they have, proof of income, what their household overhead is, and the like. Based off this family and financial information admissions administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.
As an example, if someone in Weed earns $18,000/year, has 3 dependent children they are supporting and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas an individual who is single and makes $30 a year with no overhead will pay $3000.
Even in cases where sliding fee scales are available, individuals may need to seek additional financial help to pay the lesser amount. Admissions administrators can help clients or family who are footing the bill for treatment apply for financing from a third party lender, and in mostcases this money doesn't need to be repaid until after the client finishes rehabilitation.
