Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - San Carlos, CA.

One kind of payment help that some drug and alcohol rehab programs may give to their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If a client can provide some degree of self-payment, these programs provide assistance on an individual basis which can lower rehab costs so that it is affordable for that particular client. How this typically works is the person 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.

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

Even when sliding payment scales are offered, people may need to seek further financial help to afford the discounted fee. Intake admin can help individuals 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 repaid until after the client finishes rehab.
