Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Chicago Ridge, IL.

A type of payment assistance that some drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities can offer their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If a client can provide some degree of self-payment, these facilities provide assistance on a case by case basis which can greatly reduce the cost of treatment so that it can be afforded by that particular person. How this typically works is the client will have to satisfy certain requirements for payment assistance, and will have to provide proof of income, information about how many dependents they have, what their household overhead is, etc. Based off this information intake admins can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

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

Even when sliding fee scales are offered, people may need to seek further assistance to afford the lesser fee. Intake administrators 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 repaid until after the client completes treatment.
