Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - St. Paul, IA.

One form of payment assistance that some substance abuse rehabilitation programs may offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can provide some degree of self-payment, these centers provide help on a case-by-case basis that can lower rehab costs so that it can be afforded by 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 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 a person in St. Paul earns $18,000/year, has 3 children and 800 dollars 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 must pay $3000.

Even when sliding payment scales are available, clients may need to seek additional financial help to pay the lesser fee. Intake administrators can help clients or their loved ones who are paying for rehab apply for financing from a third party lender, and in mostcases this money doesn't need to be paid back until after the person completes treatment.
