Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Elrama, PA.

A kind of payment assistance that some drug and alcohol treatment centers can give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can afford some degree of self-payment, these facilities provide help on a case by case basis that can lower the cost of treatment so that it can be afforded by that particular client. This typically works like this: the client will need to satisfy certain requirements for payment help 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.

As an example, if a person in Elrama makes $18,000/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 has no dependents and makes $30,000/year with no overhead will pay much more.

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are offered, clients may need to seek further assistance to pay this discounted amount. Intake administrators can help people or family 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 client completes rehabilitation.
