One kind of payment help that some drug and alcohol treatment programs can offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can provide some degree of self-payment, these programs provide financial aid on an individual basis which can greatly reduce treatment costs so that it can be afforded by that particular individual. This typically works like this: the client will need to meet certain criteria and requirements for payment assistance, 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 information admissions administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.
For example, if someone in Ovid only makes $18,000 a year, has 3 dependents and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas an individual who is single and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead may need to pay much more.
Even when sliding fee scales are available, clients may need to seek further assistance to pay the discounted amount. Intake admin can help clients or their loved ones who are footing the bill for rehab apply for financing from a third party lender, and in mostcases this money doesn't need to be paid back until after the client completes rehab.
