Individuals can pick a quality facility they like and meet with a rehabilitation counselor to determine if their insurance will take care of it.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance option provided by a number of drug rehabilitation programs to help help clients afford rehab where this may not have been doable initially. For instance, one client's price for treatment could be different and less than another person whose finances are better making them more prepared to spend the money for full cost of rehabilitation. Registrars take into account additional factors apart from income including amount of dependents to determine the final cost using the sliding scale.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)
