Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Merchantville, NJ.

One kind of payment assistance that some drug and alcohol treatment facilities may offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can afford some degree of self-payment, these programs provide financial aid on an individual basis which can lower treatment costs so that it can be afforded by that particular person. This typically works like this: the client will have to satisfy certain 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 family and financial information intake administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

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

Even when sliding payment scales are offered, people may need to seek further financial help to afford this discounted amount. Admissions admin can help people or family 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 back until after the individual completes rehabilitation.
