Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - St. Marys, IA.

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

For example, if someone in St. Marys makes $18,000/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/year with no overhead may need to pay $3000.

Even when sliding fee scales are available, people may need to seek additional financial help to pay this lesser fee. Admissions staff can help individuals or their loved ones 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 back until after the client finishes rehabilitation.
