Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Oquawka, IL.

A type of payment assistance that some substance abuse rehab centers may give to their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If an individual can afford some degree of self-payment, these centers provide assistance on an individual basis that can greatly reduce treatment costs so that it is affordable for that particular individual. This typically works like this: the person will need to satisfy certain requirements for payment assistance, 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 information intake administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

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

Even when sliding payment scales are offered, clients may need to seek further assistance to pay the lesser fee. Intake staff can help clients or family who are paying for treatment apply for financing from a third party lender, and in some cases this money doesn't need to be repaid until after the client completes treatment.
