Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Summit, SD.

One kind of payment assistance that some substance abuse treatment centers may give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can afford any deposit or payment by themselves, these centers provide assistance on an individual basis that can greatly reduce the cost of treatment so that it can be afforded by that particular person. How this typically works is the person will need 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 information admissions administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

As an example, if someone in Summit only makes $18,000/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 $30,000 a year with no overhead may need to pay $3000.

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are offered, clients may need to seek further financial help to pay the discounted fee. Intake staff can help individuals or their loved ones who are paying for treatment apply for financing from a third party lender, and in mostcases this money doesn't need to be paid back until after the person finishes treatment.
