Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - San Joaquin, CA.

A type of payment help that some drug and alcohol treatment centers can give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can provide any deposit or payment by themselves, these centers provide help on a case by case basis which can lower the cost of treatment so that it can be afforded by that particular person. This typically works like this: the person will need to satisfy certain 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 admissions administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

As an example, if a person in San Joaquin earns $18,000/year, has 3 dependents and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas someone who has no family and makes $30,000/year with no overhead must pay much more.

Even when sliding payment scales are offered, individuals may need to seek further assistance to afford the discounted fee. Admissions staff can help individuals or their loved ones who are footing the bill for treatment 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.
