Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - University Park, IL.

One kind of payment help that some alcohol and drug treatment programs can give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can afford any deposit or payment by themselves, these programs provide help on a case-by-case basis which can greatly reduce rehab costs so that it is affordable for that particular individual. This typically works like this: the individual 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 family and financial information intake administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

As an example, if a person in University Park earns $18,000/year, has 3 dependents and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas someone who is single and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead must pay much more.

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are available, people may need to seek additional assistance to pay the discounted fee. Intake admin can help individuals or their loved ones who are footing the bill for rehab 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 rehabilitation.
