Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Wells, MI.

A type of payment assistance that some drug and alcohol treatment programs may give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can provide some degree of self-payment, these facilities provide assistance on a case by case basis that can greatly reduce treatment costs so that it is affordable for that particular client. This typically works like this: the individual 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 admins can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

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

Even when sliding payment scales are available, individuals may need to seek further assistance to afford this lesser fee. Admissions administrators can help clients 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 person finishes rehabilitation.
