One kind of payment assistance that some drug treatment centers may offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can provide any deposit or payment by themselves, these facilities provide assistance on a case-by-case basis that can lower rehab costs so that it is affordable for that particular person. This typically works like this: the client will need to meet certain criteria and 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 information admissions administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.
For example, if a person in Chesapeake earns $18,000 a year, has 3 dependent children they are supporting and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas a person who is single and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead must pay $3000.
Even in cases where sliding payment scales are available, people may need to seek further assistance to afford the lesser amount. Intake administrators can help people or family who are footing the bill 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 individual completes rehab.
