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

A kind of payment help that some substance abuse rehabilitation centers may give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can afford any deposit or payment by themselves, these programs provide assistance on a case by case basis that can lower treatment costs so that it can be afforded by that particular individual. This typically works like this: the client will have to satisfy certain 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 Petaluma only earns $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 an individual who has no dependents and makes $30,000/year with no overhead may need to pay much more.

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are available, individuals may need to seek additional assistance to pay this discounted fee. Admissions administrators can help clients or family 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 back until after the individual finishes rehab.
