Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Lower Burrell, PA.

One form of payment help that some substance abuse rehab centers can give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can provide any deposit or payment by themselves, these facilities provide help on a case-by-case basis that can greatly reduce the cost of treatment so that it is affordable for that particular person. How this typically works is the person will have 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 family and financial information intake administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

As an example, if an individual in Lower Burrell earns $18K a year, has 3 dependents and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas someone who has no family and makes $30 a year with no overhead must pay much more.

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are offered, people may need to seek further financial help to afford the lesser amount. Intake staff 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 paid back until after the individual completes treatment.
