Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Northfield, IL.

One kind of payment help that some substance abuse rehab facilities may give to their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If an individual can provide some degree of self-payment, these facilities provide assistance on an individual basis which can lower the cost of treatment so that it can be afforded by that particular person. This typically works like this: the person will need to satisfy certain 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 the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

As an example, if an individual in Northfield earns $18,000/year, has 3 dependents and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas an individual who has no dependents and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead may need to pay much more.

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are offered, individuals may need to seek additional assistance to afford the lesser amount. Intake staff can help clients 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 repaid until after the individual finishes rehab.
