Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Steward, IL.

A type of payment assistance that some substance abuse rehabilitation facilities may give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can afford some degree of self-payment, these centers provide help on a case-by-case basis that can lower rehab costs so that it is affordable for that particular person. 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 information admissions administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

As an example, if an individual in Steward earns $18,000/year, has 3 children and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas an individual who is single and makes $30,000/year with no overhead may need to pay $3000.

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are available, clients may need to seek additional assistance to pay this discounted fee. Admissions 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 person completes rehab.
