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

A type of payment assistance that some alcohol and drug treatment programs may give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can provide some degree of self-payment, these programs provide assistance on a case-by-case basis which can greatly reduce the cost of treatment so that it is affordable for that particular person. How this typically works is the client will need 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 admins can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

As an example, if someone in Cherry only earns $18,000/year, has 3 children and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas someone who has no dependents and makes $30,000/year with no overhead will pay $3000.

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are offered, clients may need to seek additional financial help to afford this discounted amount. Admissions administrators can help individuals or their loved ones who are paying 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 completes rehabilitation.
