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

One kind of payment assistance that some alcohol and drug treatment programs may offer their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If a client can afford some degree of self-payment, these facilities provide assistance on an individual basis that can greatly reduce the cost of treatment so that it is affordable for that particular person. How this typically works is the individual will have to meet certain criteria and 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 administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

As an example, if someone in Shambaugh only makes $18,000 a year, has 3 dependents and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas a person who has no dependents and makes $30 a year with no overhead may need to pay much more.

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are available, people may need to seek further financial help to afford the lesser fee. Intake staff can help clients or family who are footing the bill for treatment apply for financing from a third party lender, and in some cases this money doesn't need to be paid until after the individual finishes treatment.
