Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - El Portal, CA.

A kind of payment assistance that some drug and alcohol treatment programs may offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can afford some degree of self-payment, these programs provide assistance on an individual basis which can lower treatment costs so that it can be afforded by that particular client. This typically works like this: the person will need 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 a person in El Portal earns $18,000 a year, has 3 dependents and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas an individual who is single and makes $30 a year with no overhead may need to pay much more.

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are available, clients may need to seek additional financial help to afford this lesser fee. Intake administrators can help individuals or family who are paying for rehab apply for financing from a third party lender, and in mostcases this money doesn't need to be paid back until after the person finishes rehabilitation.
