Costs of Addiction Mediation Services

Alternative Decisions attempts to overcome financial barriers by providing users a variety of payment methods and rates. Users have the right to determine how they will be charged for services; individualized rates can be negotiated with your assigned mediator, should both parties mutually desire to pay for services independently. Alternatively, group rates may be used if the parties require one billing account. If you have concerns for payment or desire an alternative payment arrangement, speak to administration or your respective mediator.

To ensure that service users pay an appropriate and relative amount, which suits their financial position, rates are determined on the following basis:

The average of the last three years of net income or last years reported annual income
