Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - El Dorado, CA.

One kind of payment help that some drug treatment programs may give to their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If a client can provide some degree of self-payment, these centers provide help on a case-by-case basis that can greatly reduce the cost of treatment so that it is affordable for that particular person. This typically works like this: the person 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 admissions administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

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

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are available, clients may need to seek additional financial help to pay the lesser fee. Intake staff can help clients or their loved ones who are paying for treatment apply for financing from a third party lender, and in some cases this money doesn't need to be paid until after the person finishes rehabilitation.
