Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Alpha, MI.

A type of payment help that some drug and alcohol treatment facilities may offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can provide any deposit or payment by themselves, these facilities provide financial aid on a case-by-case basis which can lower the cost of treatment so that it can be afforded by that particular client. This typically works like this: the individual will need to satisfy certain 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 admissions administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

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

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are available, individuals may need to seek additional financial help to afford the discounted fee. Intake admin can help clients 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 person completes rehabilitation.
