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

A type of payment assistance that some drug and alcohol treatment facilities can offer their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If an individual can afford some degree of self-payment, these programs provide financial aid on an individual basis which can lower treatment costs so that it is affordable for that particular person. This typically works like this: 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 information intake administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

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

Even when sliding payment scales are available, people may need to seek additional assistance to afford this discounted fee. Intake staff can help people or their loved ones 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 paid until after the individual completes treatment.
