Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Palo Alto, CA.

A type of payment help that some alcohol and drug rehab facilities may offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can provide any deposit or payment by themselves, these programs provide financial aid on a case-by-case basis that can lower rehab costs so that it is affordable for that particular client. How this typically works is the client will need 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 admissions administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

As an example, if someone in Palo Alto makes $18,000/year, has 3 dependent children they are supporting and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas a person who has no dependents and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead will pay $3000.

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are available, clients may need to seek additional financial help to pay this discounted fee. Intake administrators can help individuals or their loved ones who are paying for treatment apply for financing from a third party lender, and in mostcases this money doesn't need to be paid back until after the client completes rehab.
