Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Atwood, IL.

One form of payment help that some substance abuse treatment facilities can offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual 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 can be afforded by that particular client. This typically works like this: the person will have to satisfy certain 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 intake admins can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

As an example, if someone in Atwood only earns $18,000/year, has 3 dependent children they are supporting and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas someone who is single and makes $30 a year with no overhead may need to pay $3000.

Even when sliding fee scales are offered, clients may need to seek additional financial help to pay this discounted amount. Admissions staff can help individuals or family who are footing the bill for rehab apply for financing from a third party lender, and in some cases this money doesn't need to be paid back until after the person completes rehabilitation.
