It is not uncommon for drug treatment programs in Charleston to offer their clients payment help, for those who may not be able to pay for part of or all of the costs associated with rehabilitation. The amount of payment help that is given is usually based on each client's income and living circumstances. Payment help can also come in the form of government grants which are used to subsidize the operation of the particular drug or alcohol rehab center the individual is wanting to receive treatment at. Other payment help provided by some drug rehabilitation centers in Charleston is known as a sliding fee scale, which is a reduced fee arranged based off income and other factors. To find out about what forms of payment help are available it is best to consult with a treatment counselor who can evaluate each individual's circumstances on a case by case basis and help those in need to apply for payment help when necessary so that they can get started in life saving treatment.
