Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Lake Minchumina, AK.

One form of payment help that some alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities may offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can provide any deposit or payment by themselves, these programs provide help on a case by case basis that can greatly reduce the cost of treatment so that it can be afforded by that particular person. How this typically works is the individual will have to satisfy certain requirements for payment help 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 intake admins can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

As an example, if an individual in Lake Minchumina makes $18K a year, has 3 children and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas someone who is single and makes $30 a year with no overhead must pay much more.

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are offered, people may need to seek additional assistance to pay this discounted fee. Intake staff can help people or their loved ones who are paying for treatment apply for financing from a third party lender, and in some cases this money doesn't need to be paid back until after the person completes rehabilitation.
