Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Occidental, CA.

A type of payment assistance that some substance abuse treatment programs may give to their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If an individual can afford any deposit or payment by themselves, these facilities provide financial aid on an individual basis which can greatly reduce treatment costs so that it is affordable for that particular person. This typically works like this: the person will need to meet certain criteria and requirements for payment assistance, 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 information intake admins can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

For example, if a person in Occidental earns $18,000 a year, has 3 children and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas an individual who has no dependents and makes $30 a year with no overhead will pay $3000.

Even when sliding payment scales are offered, individuals may need to seek further assistance to afford the lesser fee. Intake admin can help people or family who are footing the bill for rehab apply for financing from a third party lender, and in mostcases this money doesn't need to be paid until after the client completes rehab.
