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

A kind of payment assistance that some alcohol and drug treatment facilities may give to their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If an individual can afford some degree of self-payment, these facilities provide help on a case-by-case basis which can greatly reduce treatment costs so that it is affordable for that particular person. This typically works like this: the person 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 information intake administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

For example, if a person in Tujunga earns $18,000 a year, has 3 dependents 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 a year with no overhead will pay $3000.

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are offered, people may need to seek additional assistance to afford this lesser fee. Intake staff can help clients or their loved ones 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 person finishes treatment.
