Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Elkhart, IL.

A kind of payment help that some drug and alcohol rehab programs can give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can provide some degree of self-payment, these programs provide assistance on a case-by-case basis that can lower treatment costs so that it can be afforded by that particular client. This typically works like this: the individual will have to satisfy certain 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 information admissions admins can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

For example, if a person in Elkhart 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 treatment, whereas an individual who has no dependents and makes $30 a year with no overhead will pay $3000.

Even when sliding fee scales are available, people may need to seek additional financial help to pay the discounted fee. Admissions staff can help people 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 individual finishes rehabilitation.
