Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Shishmaref, AK.

A type of payment assistance that some alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs may offer their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If an individual can afford some degree of self-payment, these programs provide help on a case-by-case basis which can greatly reduce the cost of treatment so that it is affordable for that particular person. This typically works like this: the person will have to satisfy certain requirements for payment assistance, and will have to provide information about how many dependents they have, proof of income, what their household overhead is, and the like. Based off this information admissions administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

For example, if an individual in Shishmaref 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 someone who has no dependents and makes $30 a year with no overhead may need to pay much more.

Even when sliding fee scales are offered, clients may need to seek additional financial help to pay the lesser fee. Intake admin can help clients or their loved ones who are paying for rehab apply for financing from a third party lender, and in mostcases this money doesn't need to be repaid until after the individual completes treatment.
