Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Applegate, CA.

One kind of payment help that some drug and alcohol rehab centers may offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can provide some degree of self-payment, these facilities provide assistance on an individual basis which can lower treatment costs so that it is affordable for that particular individual. How this typically works is the individual will have to meet certain criteria and requirements for payment help 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 family and financial information admissions administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

As an example, if an individual in Applegate only earns $18,000/year, has 3 children and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas a person who is single and makes $30 a year with no overhead may need to pay much more.

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are offered, people may need to seek additional assistance to pay the discounted amount. Intake staff can help people 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 finishes rehabilitation.
