Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Merrill, OR.

One form of payment help that some drug and alcohol treatment centers may offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can provide some degree of self-payment, these programs provide assistance on a case-by-case basis which can lower treatment costs so that it can be afforded by that particular individual. 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 admissions administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

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

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are offered, individuals may need to seek further financial help to pay the discounted fee. Intake staff can help individuals or their loved ones who are footing the bill for rehab apply for financing from a third party lender, and in some cases this money doesn't need to be paid back until after the client completes rehabilitation.
