A type of payment assistance that some substance abuse treatment programs can offer their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If a client can afford some degree of self-payment, these centers provide help on an individual basis that can lower the cost of treatment so that it is affordable for that particular person. How this typically works is the client 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 intake admins can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.
For example, if someone in Mount Vernon only makes $18K a year, has 3 dependents and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas a person who is single and makes $30 a year with no overhead may need to pay much more.
Even when sliding fee scales are offered, individuals may need to seek additional financial help to afford this discounted fee. Intake staff can help clients or their loved ones who are paying for treatment apply for financing from a third party lender, and in some cases this money doesn't need to be paid until after the client finishes rehabilitation.
