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

One kind of payment assistance that some drug and alcohol rehab centers may give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can afford some degree of self-payment, these facilities provide help 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 help and will have to provide proof of income, information about how many dependents they have, what their household overhead is, etc. Based off this family and financial information intake admins can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

As an example, if an individual in Stambaugh only earns $18,000 a year, has 3 children and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas someone who has no family and makes $30 a year with no overhead may need to pay $3000.

Even when sliding payment scales are available, people may need to seek additional assistance to pay the lesser amount. Intake administrators can help clients or family who are footing the bill for rehab apply for financing from a third party lender, and in some cases this money doesn't need to be repaid until after the client finishes treatment.
