Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Dougherty, IA.

A type of payment assistance that some drug and alcohol treatment centers may give to their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If a client can provide some degree of self-payment, these programs provide financial aid on a case by case basis which can lower rehab costs so that it is affordable for that particular individual. This typically works like this: the person will need 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 what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

As an example, if someone in Dougherty only makes $18,000 a year, has 3 dependent children they are supporting and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas an individual who has no family and makes $30 a year with no overhead will pay much more.

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are offered, individuals may need to seek further financial help to pay the lesser amount. Admissions staff can help people or their loved ones who are footing the bill for treatment apply for financing from a third party lender, and in mostcases this money doesn't need to be repaid until after the individual completes rehabilitation.
