A type of payment assistance that some substance abuse rehab programs can give to their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If a client can provide any deposit or payment by themselves, these facilities provide financial aid on a case-by-case basis which can lower the cost of treatment so that it is affordable for that particular client. This typically works like this: 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 intake administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.
For example, if an individual in Hull only makes $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 someone who is single and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead may need to pay $3000.
Even when sliding fee scales are available, clients may need to seek additional assistance to afford the lesser amount. Admissions admin can help people or their loved ones who are paying for rehab apply for financing from a third party lender, and in mostcases this money doesn't need to be paid until after the client completes treatment.
