One kind of payment assistance that some drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers may give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can provide some degree of self-payment, these facilities provide help on a case by case basis that can lower rehab costs so that it can be afforded by that particular person. This typically works like this: the individual will need to satisfy certain 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 family and financial information admissions administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.
For example, if someone in Hammond makes $18,000/year, has 3 dependents and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas someone who is single and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead will pay $3000.
Even in cases where sliding payment scales are available, people may need to seek additional assistance to pay this discounted amount. Admissions staff can help people or their loved ones who are paying 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 finishes rehabilitation.
