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

A type of payment help that some alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs can give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can afford some degree of self-payment, these centers provide assistance on a case-by-case basis that can lower rehab costs so that it is affordable for that particular individual. How this typically works is the person 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 information intake administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

For example, if someone in Leonard earns $18,000 a year, has 3 children 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 must pay $3000.

Even when sliding payment scales are offered, clients may need to seek additional financial help to afford this discounted amount. Intake staff 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 individual completes rehab.
