Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Erie, MI.

One form of payment assistance that some substance abuse rehab facilities can give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can afford any deposit or payment by themselves, these facilities provide help on a case by case basis that can greatly reduce rehab costs so that it can be afforded by that particular client. This typically works like this: the individual will have 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 information intake admins can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

As an example, if an individual in Erie makes $18,000 a year, has 3 children and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas someone who has no dependents and makes $30 a year with no overhead may need to pay much more.

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are offered, clients may need to seek additional assistance to afford the discounted fee. Intake admin can help individuals or their loved ones who are paying 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.
