Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Merrill, MI.

One form of payment help that some substance abuse treatment facilities may offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can afford some degree of self-payment, these centers provide help on a case-by-case basis which can lower rehab costs so that it is affordable for that particular individual. This typically works like this: the client will need to meet certain criteria and requirements for payment assistance, 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 information intake admins can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

For example, if someone in Merrill earns $18K a year, has 3 dependent children they are supporting and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas a person who has no family and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead must pay $3000.

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are offered, people may need to seek further assistance to afford the discounted amount. Admissions admin can help clients or family who are paying for treatment apply for financing from a third party lender, and in some cases this money doesn't need to be paid until after the individual finishes rehabilitation.
