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

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

As an example, if an individual in Postville only makes $18,000 a year, has 3 children and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas a person who is single and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead will pay $3000.

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