Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Burlingame, CA.

A type of payment assistance that some alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs may offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can provide any deposit or payment by themselves, these programs provide financial aid on an individual basis which can greatly reduce the cost of treatment so that it is affordable for that particular person. 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 family and financial information admissions administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

For example, if an individual in Burlingame only makes $18,000/year, has 3 dependents and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas a person who has no dependents and makes $30 a year with no overhead may need to pay much more.

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are offered, clients may need to seek additional assistance to afford this lesser fee. Intake administrators 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 person finishes rehab.
