Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Atkins, IA.

A type of payment help that some alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers can give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can afford some degree of self-payment, these programs provide help on a case by case basis that can lower treatment costs so that it is affordable for that particular client. This typically works like this: the client will need to meet certain criteria and requirements for payment assistance, 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.

As an example, if an individual in Atkins earns $18K a year, has 3 dependents and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas a person who has no dependents and makes $30,000/year with no overhead must pay $3000.

Even when sliding fee scales are available, people may need to seek additional financial help to afford the lesser amount. Admissions administrators can help individuals or family 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 paid until after the individual completes rehab.
