Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Columbia, AL.

A kind of payment assistance that some alcohol and drug rehab facilities can give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can provide any deposit or payment by themselves, these facilities provide financial aid on an individual basis that can lower treatment costs so that it can be afforded by that particular individual. This typically works like this: the person 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 intake administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

For example, if someone in Columbia makes $18K a year, has 3 children and 800 dollars 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 when sliding payment scales are available, people may need to seek additional financial help to afford the lesser fee. Admissions staff can help people 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 repaid until after the individual finishes treatment.
