Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Buffalo Center, IA.

A kind of payment assistance that some substance abuse rehab programs can offer their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If a client can afford any deposit or payment by themselves, these programs provide financial aid on a case by case basis that can greatly reduce treatment costs so that it is affordable for that particular client. How this typically works is the individual 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 admissions administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

For example, if a person in Buffalo Center only makes $18,000 a year, has 3 dependent children they are supporting and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas an individual who has no family and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead must pay $3000.

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are offered, individuals may need to seek additional assistance to afford the discounted fee. Intake staff can help individuals or their loved ones who are paying for rehab apply for financing from a third party lender, and in some cases this money doesn't need to be paid back until after the person completes rehab.
