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

One form of payment help that some drug and alcohol rehab centers can give to their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If an individual can afford some degree of self-payment, these facilities provide help on a case by case basis which can lower rehab costs so that it is affordable for that particular person. This typically works like this: the client will have 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 information admissions administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

For example, if someone in Merrill only 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 treatment, whereas someone who has no dependents and makes $30,000/year with no overhead must pay much more.

Even when sliding fee scales are offered, clients may need to seek further assistance to afford the discounted fee. Intake staff can help individuals or family 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 person completes treatment.
