Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - San Quentin, CA.

A type of payment assistance that some substance abuse rehab programs may offer their clients is an adjustable 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 treatment costs so that it is affordable for that particular individual. How this typically works is the client will have to satisfy certain 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 information intake administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

For example, if an individual in San Quentin earns $18K a year, has 3 children and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas someone who has no family and makes $30,000/year with no overhead must pay much more.

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are offered, people may need to seek additional assistance to pay this discounted amount. Admissions staff can help individuals or their loved ones who are paying for treatment apply for financing from a third party lender, and in some cases this money doesn't need to be repaid until after the individual finishes treatment.
