Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Dunkirk, OH.

One kind of payment assistance that some alcohol and drug treatment facilities can offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can provide any deposit or payment by themselves, these programs provide help on a case-by-case basis which can lower treatment costs so that it is affordable for that particular client. This typically works like this: the person will need 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 Dunkirk only earns $18K a year, has 3 dependent children they are supporting and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas a person who has no family and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead may need to pay much more.

Even when sliding payment scales are offered, clients may need to seek further assistance to pay the lesser fee. Admissions administrators can help people 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 repaid until after the person finishes rehab.
