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

A kind of payment assistance that some substance abuse treatment programs may give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can afford some degree of self-payment, these centers provide assistance on an individual basis which can greatly reduce the cost of treatment so that it is affordable for that particular individual. This typically works like this: 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 administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

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

Even when sliding payment scales are available, people may need to seek further assistance to pay the discounted amount. Intake administrators can help individuals or family who are paying 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 finishes treatment.
