A kind of payment assistance that some drug treatment programs can give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can provide any deposit or payment by themselves, these programs provide help on an individual basis that can lower the cost of treatment so that it can be afforded by that particular individual. How this typically works is 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 family and financial information intake administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.
As an example, if a person in Talladega only earns $18,000 a year, has 3 dependents and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas someone who has no family and makes $30 a year with no overhead will pay $3000.
Even in cases where sliding payment scales are offered, people may need to seek additional assistance to afford this lesser fee. Intake staff can help people or family who are footing the bill for treatment apply for financing from a third party lender, and in mostcases this money doesn't need to be repaid until after the person finishes treatment.
