Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Ahmeek, MI.

A type of payment assistance that some drug and alcohol treatment facilities may give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can provide some degree of self-payment, these facilities provide assistance on an individual basis that can greatly reduce treatment costs so that it can be afforded by that particular individual. How this typically works is the client will have to meet certain criteria and requirements for payment assistance, 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 intake admins can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

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

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are offered, people may need to seek further assistance to afford the discounted fee. Intake staff can help people or family who are footing the bill 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 individual finishes treatment.
