Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Union Center, SD.

A type of payment assistance that some substance abuse rehabilitation programs may offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can afford any deposit or payment by themselves, these facilities provide assistance on an individual basis that can greatly reduce rehab costs so that it can be afforded by that particular client. How this typically works is the person will have to satisfy certain requirements for payment assistance, 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 a person in Union Center earns $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 a year with no overhead will pay $3000.

Even when sliding payment scales are available, people may need to seek further assistance to pay the discounted fee. Intake admin can help clients or family 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 repaid until after the client finishes rehabilitation.
