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

One kind of payment assistance that some drug and alcohol treatment centers can give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can provide some degree of self-payment, these centers provide help on a case-by-case basis which can greatly reduce rehab costs so that it is affordable for that particular individual. This typically works like this: the individual will have to satisfy certain requirements for payment help 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 family and financial information admissions admins can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

For example, if an individual in Merritt only makes $18K a year, has 3 dependents and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas someone who has no dependents and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead may need to pay $3000.

Even when sliding fee scales are available, individuals may need to seek additional assistance to afford the lesser amount. Admissions administrators can help clients 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 paid back until after the person completes treatment.
