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

One form of payment assistance that some substance abuse rehab programs may give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can provide any deposit or payment by themselves, these facilities provide help on an individual basis that can greatly reduce the cost of treatment so that it is affordable for that particular client. This typically works like this: the client will need to meet certain criteria and requirements for payment help 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 administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

For example, if someone in Birmingham makes $18,000 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 is single and makes $30 a year with no overhead must pay much more.

Even when sliding fee scales are available, people may need to seek further assistance to pay the discounted fee. Intake administrators can help individuals or their loved ones 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 client completes treatment.
