Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Ellston, IA.

A kind of payment assistance that some drug rehabilitation programs can offer their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If an individual can provide some degree of self-payment, these programs provide financial aid on an individual basis which can lower rehab costs so that it is affordable for that particular client. This typically works like this: the client will have 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 intake admins can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

As an example, if someone in Ellston only earns $18,000/year, has 3 children and $800 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 will pay $3000.

Even when sliding payment scales are offered, individuals may need to seek additional assistance to pay the discounted fee. Intake staff can help clients or family who are paying 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 individual completes treatment.
