A type of payment assistance that some alcohol and drug treatment centers may give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can afford some degree of self-payment, these centers provide financial aid on a case by case basis that can greatly reduce the cost of treatment so that it can be afforded by that particular client. How this typically works is the individual will need to satisfy certain requirements for payment help and will have to provide proof of income, information about how many dependents they have, what their household overhead is, etc. Based off this information admissions administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.
For example, if an individual in Iowa City makes $18K a year, has 3 children and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas an individual who has no family and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead will pay much more.
Even in cases where sliding payment scales are offered, individuals may need to seek additional financial help to pay this lesser amount. Intake staff can help individuals or family who are paying for treatment apply for financing from a third party lender, and in some cases this money doesn't need to be repaid until after the client finishes rehabilitation.
