Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - San Leandro, CA.

A type of payment help that some alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs can offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can afford some degree of self-payment, these programs provide financial aid on a case-by-case basis that can lower rehab costs so that it is affordable for that particular individual. This typically works like this: the client will need to meet certain criteria and 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 family and financial information intake administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

For example, if a person in San Leandro only makes $18,000/year, has 3 dependent children they are supporting and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas an individual who is single and makes $30 a year with no overhead must pay $3000.

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are available, people may need to seek further financial help to pay the lesser fee. Intake admin can help clients or family who are paying 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 client completes treatment.
