Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Temperance, MI.

One kind of payment assistance that some alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs may offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can provide some degree of self-payment, these programs provide help on a case-by-case basis which can greatly reduce rehab costs so that it is affordable for that particular person. How this typically works is the person will have to meet certain criteria and requirements for payment assistance, and will have to provide proof of income, information about how many dependents they have, what their household overhead is, etc. Based off this information intake admins can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

For example, if someone in Temperance makes $18,000/year, has 3 dependent children they are supporting and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas someone who is single and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead may need to pay much more.

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are available, clients may need to seek additional assistance to pay the lesser fee. Admissions staff can help people 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 until after the individual completes rehabilitation.
