Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Richmond, IL.

One form of payment assistance that some drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities may give to their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If a client can afford some degree of self-payment, these centers provide financial aid on an individual basis which can greatly reduce rehab costs so that it is affordable for that particular individual. This typically works like this: the individual will have 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 intake administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

For example, if a person in Richmond makes $18,000/year, has 3 dependent children they are supporting and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas an individual who is single and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead must pay $3000.

Even when sliding fee scales are available, clients may need to seek additional assistance to afford this lesser amount. Admissions administrators can help people or their loved ones 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.
