Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - St. Marys, AK.

A type of payment assistance that some alcohol and drug treatment programs may give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can afford any deposit or payment by themselves, these facilities provide assistance on a case-by-case basis that can greatly reduce the cost of treatment so that it can be afforded by that particular client. How this typically works is the person will need 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 family and financial information admissions administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

For example, if an individual in St. Marys only makes $18K a year, has 3 dependent children they are supporting and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas someone who has no dependents and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead will pay $3000.

Even when sliding fee scales are available, clients may need to seek further assistance to afford this lesser amount. Intake staff can help individuals or family who are paying for treatment apply for financing from a third party lender, and in mostcases this money doesn't need to be paid until after the client finishes rehabilitation.
