One kind of payment assistance that some drug and alcohol treatment facilities may give to their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If an individual can afford any deposit or payment by themselves, these facilities provide financial aid on an individual basis which can lower treatment costs so that it is affordable for that particular individual. How this typically works is the individual 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 family and financial information intake admins can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.
For example, if a person in Star only earns $18,000 a year, has 3 dependent children they are supporting and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas someone 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, individuals may need to seek further financial help to pay this lesser fee. Admissions staff can help clients or family 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 back until after the individual finishes rehabilitation.
