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

One kind of payment assistance that some alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities can offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can provide some degree of self-payment, these centers provide help on a case-by-case basis that can greatly reduce treatment costs so that it can be afforded by that particular client. This typically works like this: the client will have to meet certain criteria and requirements for payment help 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.

For example, if a person in St. Elmo only makes $18,000 a year, has 3 dependent children they are supporting and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas a person who has no family and makes $30 a year with no overhead must pay much more.

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are available, individuals may need to seek further financial help to afford this lesser amount. Admissions administrators can help people or family who are paying for treatment apply for financing from a third party lender, and in mostcases this money doesn't need to be paid until after the person completes rehabilitation.
