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

A kind of payment help that some substance abuse treatment facilities may give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can afford some degree of self-payment, these facilities provide assistance on a case-by-case basis which can lower rehab costs 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 help 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 admins can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

As an example, if someone in Westport only earns $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 a person who is single and makes $30,000/year with no overhead may need to pay $3000.

Even when sliding fee scales are available, clients may need to seek further financial help to afford the discounted amount. Intake administrators can help people 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 repaid until after the client finishes rehab.
