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

One kind of payment assistance that some alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs may give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can afford some degree of self-payment, these facilities provide financial aid on a case by case basis that can lower rehab costs so that it can be afforded by that particular person. This typically works like this: the person 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 family and financial information intake administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

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

Even when sliding payment scales are available, clients may need to seek additional financial help to pay the lesser fee. Intake administrators can help clients or their loved ones who are paying for rehab apply for financing from a third party lender, and in mostcases this money doesn't need to be paid back until after the individual finishes rehabilitation.
