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

A type of payment assistance that some substance abuse rehab programs may offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can afford any deposit or payment by themselves, these centers provide financial aid on a case by case basis that can lower the cost of treatment so that it is affordable for that particular individual. This typically works like this: the individual will have to meet certain criteria and 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 admins can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

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

Even when sliding fee scales are offered, individuals may need to seek additional assistance to afford this discounted amount. Intake admin can help individuals or their loved ones who are footing the bill for rehab apply for financing from a third party lender, and in some cases this money doesn't need to be paid until after the client completes treatment.
