The amount of payment help that is offered is usually based on each client's financial and living circumstances. Payment help can also be offered in the form of government grants which are used to subsidize the operation of the particular drug rehab program the individual is wishing to receive treatment at. Other payment help provided by some drug rehab programs in Central is known as a sliding fee scale, which is a lower fee arranged based off income and other factors.
