Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Trimble, TN.

A type of payment assistance that some alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs may offer their clients is a sliding 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 the cost of treatment so that it is affordable for that particular individual. This typically works like this: the person will need 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 information intake admins can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

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

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are available, clients may need to seek additional assistance to pay the discounted amount. Intake administrators can help individuals 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 paid back until after the person finishes treatment.
