Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Northwood, IA.

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

For example, if an individual in Northwood 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 someone who has no family and makes $30 a year with no overhead will pay $3000.

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are available, clients may need to seek additional financial help to afford the lesser amount. Admissions staff can help clients or family who are footing the bill 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.
