Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Smithmill, PA.

A kind of payment assistance that some alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs may give to their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If a client can provide some degree of self-payment, these facilities provide help on a case-by-case basis which can greatly reduce treatment costs so that it is affordable for that particular person. This typically works like this: the person will need to meet certain criteria and requirements for payment help 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 intake administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

As an example, if someone in Smithmill only makes $18K a year, has 3 dependent children they are supporting and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas an individual who has no dependents and makes $30,000/year with no overhead may need to pay much more.

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are available, clients may need to seek additional financial help to afford this lesser amount. Intake 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 some cases this money doesn't need to be paid back until after the person finishes rehab.
