One form of payment assistance that some drug treatment programs can give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can provide some degree of self-payment, these centers provide assistance on a case by case basis that can greatly reduce rehab costs so that it is affordable for that particular client. This typically works like this: the person will have to satisfy certain requirements for payment assistance, and will have to provide proof of income, information about how many dependents they have, what their household overhead is, etc. Based off this family and financial information admissions administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.
For example, if an individual in Allegan only earns $18,000/year, has 3 children and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas an individual who is single and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead must pay $3000.
Even when sliding payment scales are offered, people may need to seek additional assistance to afford the lesser amount. Admissions staff can help clients or their loved ones who are footing the bill for rehab apply for financing from a third party lender, and in some cases this money doesn't need to be paid back until after the person completes treatment.
