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

A kind of payment help that some alcohol and drug treatment facilities may give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can provide some degree of self-payment, these programs provide assistance on an individual basis which can greatly reduce rehab costs so that it can be afforded by that particular client. This typically works like this: the client 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 family and financial information admissions administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

As an example, if a person in Equality earns $18K a year, has 3 dependent children they are supporting and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas a person who has no dependents and makes $30,000/year with no overhead must pay much more.

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are offered, clients may need to seek further assistance to afford the lesser amount. Intake staff can help clients or family who are footing the bill for rehab apply for financing from a third party lender, and in mostcases this money doesn't need to be paid back until after the client finishes rehab.
