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

One kind of payment help that some alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities may offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can afford some degree of self-payment, these centers provide financial aid on an individual basis which can lower rehab costs so that it is affordable for that particular person. How this typically works is the client will have to satisfy certain requirements for payment help 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 information admissions admins can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

For example, if someone in Lake City only earns $18,000 a year, has 3 children and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas a person who has no family and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead will pay much more.

Even when sliding fee scales are offered, people may need to seek additional financial help to afford the lesser amount. Intake admin can help people or family who are paying for treatment apply for financing from a third party lender, and in some cases this money doesn't need to be paid back until after the individual finishes rehab.
