Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Miranda, CA.

One kind of payment help that some substance abuse treatment facilities may offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can provide any deposit or payment by themselves, these facilities provide assistance on a case-by-case basis that can greatly reduce the cost of treatment so that it is affordable for that particular client. This typically works like this: the client 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 intake administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

As an example, if someone in Miranda makes $18,000/year, has 3 dependent children they are supporting and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas someone who has no dependents and makes $30,000 a 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 afford this lesser fee. 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.
