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

One form of payment help that some alcohol and drug treatment facilities may offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can afford any deposit or payment by themselves, these centers provide help on a case-by-case basis that can lower treatment costs so that it is affordable for that particular person. How this typically works is the client will have to meet certain criteria and requirements for payment assistance, 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 admins can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

For example, if an individual in St. Olaf only makes $18K a year, has 3 children and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas a person who has no dependents and makes $30,000/year with no overhead must pay $3000.

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are available, individuals may need to seek additional assistance to pay this lesser fee. Intake admin can help clients or family who are footing the bill for treatment apply for financing from a third party lender, and in mostcases this money doesn't need to be paid back until after the person finishes treatment.
