One kind of payment help that some drug and alcohol rehab centers may offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can provide any deposit or payment by themselves, these facilities provide help on a case by case basis that can greatly reduce treatment costs so that it is affordable for that particular client. This typically works like this: the person 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 what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.
As an example, if someone in Nebo makes $18K a year, has 3 dependents 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 may need to pay $3000.
Even in cases where sliding fee scales are available, individuals may need to seek additional financial help 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 mostcases this money doesn't need to be paid back until after the person finishes rehab.
