Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Reading, KS.

One kind of payment help that some drug and alcohol treatment facilities may give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can afford some degree of self-payment, these programs provide financial aid on an individual basis that can greatly reduce the cost of treatment so that it can be afforded by that particular person. This typically works like this: the client will need 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 the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

For example, if a person in Reading only earns $18,000/year, has 3 children and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas a person who has no dependents and makes $30 a year with no overhead may need to pay $3000.

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are offered, people may need to seek additional assistance to pay the lesser fee. Intake 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 paid back until after the person completes rehabilitation.
