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

One kind of payment help that some drug and alcohol treatment programs can offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can afford some degree of self-payment, these programs provide help on a case by case basis which can lower treatment costs so that it is affordable for that particular individual. How this typically works is the client will have to meet certain criteria and 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 family and financial information intake administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

As an example, if someone in Eldora earns $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 $30,000 a year with no overhead must pay much more.

Even when sliding payment scales are offered, individuals may need to seek additional financial help to pay the lesser fee. Admissions administrators can help clients 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 repaid until after the person finishes treatment.
