Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Chicago Park, CA.

One kind of payment assistance that some substance abuse treatment facilities may offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can provide some degree of self-payment, these centers provide assistance on a case-by-case basis that can greatly reduce treatment costs so that it is affordable for that particular client. How this typically works is the individual will need to meet certain criteria and 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 what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

As an example, if a person in Chicago Park earns $18,000/year, has 3 children and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas someone who has no family and makes $30,000/year with no overhead may need to pay $3000.

Even when sliding payment scales are available, people may need to seek further assistance to afford this discounted amount. Intake staff can help clients 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 repaid until after the individual finishes treatment.
