Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Akutan, AK.

A type of payment help that some drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities may offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can afford any deposit or payment by themselves, these facilities provide help on an individual basis that can lower treatment costs so that it is affordable for that particular client. How this typically works is the individual will have to meet certain criteria and requirements for payment assistance, and will have to provide proof of income, information about how many dependents they have, what their household overhead is, etc. Based off this information admissions administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

For example, if someone in Akutan makes $18K a year, has 3 dependent children they are supporting and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas a person who has no family and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead must pay much more.

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are offered, people may need to seek additional financial help to pay the lesser amount. Intake admin can help individuals or their loved ones who are footing the bill for rehab apply for financing from a third party lender, and in mostcases this money doesn't need to be paid back until after the individual completes treatment.
