A type of payment assistance that some alcohol and drug treatment centers may offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can afford any deposit or payment by themselves, these centers provide help on a case by case basis which can lower treatment costs so that it can be afforded by that particular person. How this typically works is the individual will have to meet certain criteria and requirements for payment help 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 admins can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.
As an example, if someone in Rome only earns $18,000 a year, has 3 children and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas a person who has no dependents and makes $30,000/year with no overhead will pay much more.
Even when sliding payment scales are available, clients may need to seek further assistance to afford the lesser fee. Intake administrators can help individuals or their loved ones 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 paid back until after the individual completes treatment.
