Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Thorne Bay, AK.

A type of payment assistance that some substance abuse rehabilitation programs may give to their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If an individual can afford some degree of self-payment, these facilities provide financial aid on an individual basis which can lower treatment costs so that it can be afforded by that particular client. This typically works like this: 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 admissions admins can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

As an example, if an individual in Thorne Bay only earns $18K a year, has 3 dependents and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas an individual who has no dependents and makes $30,000/year with no overhead must pay $3000.

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are available, individuals may need to seek further financial help to afford this discounted amount. Intake staff can help individuals or family who are footing the bill 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 individual completes rehabilitation.
