Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Frederick, IL.

A type of payment assistance that some substance abuse treatment programs may offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can provide some degree of self-payment, these programs provide financial aid on a case by case basis which can lower the cost of treatment so that it can be afforded by that particular client. This typically works like this: the client will need to meet certain criteria and requirements for payment help and will have to provide information about how many dependents they have, proof of income, what their household overhead is, and the like. Based off this family and financial information admissions administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

For example, if a person in Frederick 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 rehab, whereas a person who has no dependents and makes $30,000/year with no overhead may need to pay $3000.

Even when sliding payment scales are available, individuals may need to seek further financial help to pay the lesser fee. Intake administrators 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 paid back until after the person completes treatment.
