Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Oakland, MI.

One kind of payment assistance that some substance abuse treatment centers may offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can afford some degree of self-payment, these facilities provide help on an individual basis that can greatly reduce rehab costs so that it is affordable for that particular person. How this typically works is the individual will have to meet certain criteria and 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 administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

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

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are available, clients may need to seek further assistance to pay this discounted fee. Intake staff can help people or their loved ones who are footing the bill for rehab apply for financing from a third party lender, and in mostcases this money doesn't need to be repaid until after the client finishes rehab.
