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

A kind of payment assistance that some alcohol and drug treatment facilities may give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can provide some degree of self-payment, these programs provide financial aid on an individual basis which can greatly reduce rehab costs so that it can be afforded by that particular individual. This typically works like this: the client will have to satisfy certain 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 intake administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

As an example, if someone in Panama makes $18K 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 a year with no overhead must pay $3000.

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are offered, clients may need to seek additional financial help to pay the lesser amount. Admissions staff can help clients or family who are paying for rehab apply for financing from a third party lender, and in mostcases this money doesn't need to be repaid until after the individual completes treatment.
