Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Bay Port, MI.

A type of payment assistance that some substance abuse treatment programs can offer their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If an individual can afford some degree of self-payment, these centers provide assistance on a case-by-case basis that can greatly reduce the cost of treatment so that it is affordable for that particular individual. How this typically works is the client will have to satisfy certain 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 information admissions administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

As an example, if a person in Bay Port only makes $18,000 a year, has 3 dependent children they are supporting and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, 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 offered, people may need to seek additional assistance to afford the discounted fee. Intake admin can help people or family who are paying for treatment apply for financing from a third party lender, and in mostcases this money doesn't need to be repaid until after the individual finishes treatment.
