Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Portland, OH.

One form of payment assistance that some drug and alcohol rehab programs can offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can provide some degree of self-payment, these facilities provide help on an individual basis which can greatly reduce treatment costs so that it is affordable for that particular individual. This typically works like this: the person will need 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 administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

As an example, if an individual in Portland earns $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 a person who has no dependents and makes $30,000/year with no overhead must pay $3000.

Even when sliding fee scales are available, people may need to seek additional assistance to afford this discounted fee. Admissions staff can help clients or their loved ones who are footing the bill for treatment apply for financing from a third party lender, and in mostcases this money doesn't need to be repaid until after the individual completes rehabilitation.
