Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - East Palo Alto, CA.

A kind of payment help that some drug and alcohol rehab programs can give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can provide some degree of self-payment, these programs provide assistance on an individual basis that can lower the cost of treatment so that it is affordable for that particular person. How this typically works is the individual will have to satisfy certain requirements for payment assistance, 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 intake administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

For example, if a person in East Palo Alto earns $18,000/year, has 3 dependents and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas someone who has no dependents and makes $30,000/year with no overhead must pay $3000.

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are offered, clients may need to seek additional financial help to pay the discounted fee. Admissions staff can help individuals or their loved ones who are footing the bill for treatment apply for financing from a third party lender, and in mostcases this money doesn't need to be paid until after the person completes treatment.
