Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Shelby, MI.

One kind of payment help that some substance abuse rehab programs may give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can afford some degree of self-payment, these centers provide financial aid on a case by case basis that can greatly reduce the cost of treatment so that it can be afforded by 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 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 the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

As an example, if a person in Shelby only makes $18K a year, has 3 children and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas an individual who has no family 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 further assistance to afford this lesser fee. Intake staff 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 paid back until after the individual completes treatment.
