Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Ellisville, IL.

One form of payment assistance that some substance abuse treatment facilities can give to 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 the cost of treatment so that it can be afforded by that particular client. This typically works like this: the individual will have 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 family and financial information admissions admins can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

As an example, if an individual in Ellisville only makes $18,000 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 an individual who has no family and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead may need to pay $3000.

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are offered, people may need to seek additional financial help to afford this discounted amount. Intake staff can help clients 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 until after the individual completes treatment.
