Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Whitewood, SD.

A type of payment assistance that some substance abuse rehabilitation facilities may give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can provide any deposit or payment by themselves, these programs provide assistance on an individual basis which can greatly reduce rehab costs so that it is affordable for that particular individual. 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 information intake administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

For example, if a person in Whitewood earns $18,000/year, has 3 children and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas an individual who has no family and makes $30 a year with no overhead may need to pay $3000.

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are available, clients may need to seek further financial help 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 paid back until after the person completes rehabilitation.
