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

One form of payment assistance that some alcohol and drug rehab programs can offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can provide any deposit or payment by themselves, these facilities provide assistance on a case-by-case basis that can lower treatment costs so that it can be afforded by that particular individual. How this typically works is the client will need to meet certain criteria and 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.

For example, if an individual in Dakota only earns $18,000 a year, has 3 dependent children they are supporting and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas a person who has no family and makes $30,000/year with no overhead must pay much more.

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are offered, individuals may need to seek additional assistance to afford the discounted amount. Intake staff can help clients or their loved ones who are footing the bill for treatment apply for financing from a third party lender, and in some cases this money doesn't need to be repaid until after the client finishes rehabilitation.
