Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Oakland, IA.

One kind of payment assistance that some drug and alcohol treatment centers may offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can afford some degree of self-payment, these programs provide help on an individual basis which can lower rehab costs so that it can be afforded by that particular person. How this typically works is the person will need to satisfy certain 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 intake administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

For example, if someone in Oakland only earns $18K a year, has 3 dependent children they are supporting and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas a person who has no family and makes $30,000/year with no overhead will pay $3000.

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are available, people may need to seek further financial help to pay the lesser amount. Intake admin can help people 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 repaid until after the client finishes rehabilitation.
