Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Cherokee, AL.

A type of payment help that some substance abuse treatment programs may offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can provide some degree of self-payment, these programs provide help on a case by case basis that can greatly reduce the cost of treatment so that it is affordable for that particular client. This typically works like this: the individual will need to meet certain criteria and requirements for payment help and will have to provide proof of income, information about how many dependents they have, what their household overhead is, etc. Based off this family and financial information admissions administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

For example, if a person in Cherokee earns $18,000/year, has 3 dependent children they are supporting and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas someone who is single and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead will pay $3000.

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are available, clients may need to seek additional financial help to afford this lesser amount. Admissions administrators can help clients or family who are paying 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 completes rehab.
