One form of payment help that some alcohol and drug treatment facilities may give to their clients is a sliding 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 the cost of treatment so that it is affordable for that particular person. How this typically works is the individual will need to meet certain criteria and 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 information intake administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.
For example, if an individual in Bedford 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 $3000.
Even in cases where sliding payment scales are available, individuals may need to seek additional financial help to afford this discounted amount. Intake staff can help individuals or family who are paying for rehab apply for financing from a third party lender, and in some cases this money doesn't need to be repaid until after the client finishes rehab.
