Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - St. Elizabeth, MO.

One kind of payment assistance that some alcohol and drug treatment centers can offer their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If an individual can afford some degree of self-payment, these programs provide financial aid on a case by case basis that can lower the cost of treatment so that it is affordable for that particular client. How this typically works is the person 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 admins can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

For example, if a person in St. Elizabeth makes $18,000 a year, has 3 dependent children they are supporting and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas someone who is single and makes $30,000/year with no overhead must pay $3000.

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are offered, individuals may need to seek additional assistance to afford the discounted fee. Admissions staff can help people or family who are paying 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 person completes rehab.
