One form of payment help that some drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs may offer their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If a client can afford some degree of self-payment, these centers provide assistance on an individual basis which can lower rehab costs so that it is affordable for that particular client. How this typically works is the person will have to satisfy certain requirements for payment help 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.
For example, if a person in Cuba earns $18K a year, has 3 children and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas someone who has no dependents and makes $30 a year with no overhead may need to pay $3000.
Even in cases where sliding payment scales are available, people may need to seek further assistance to afford this discounted fee. Admissions admin can help clients or family who are paying for treatment apply for financing from a third party lender, and in mostcases this money doesn't need to be paid back until after the person completes rehabilitation.
