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

A type of payment assistance that some alcohol and drug treatment programs may give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can provide some degree of self-payment, these centers provide assistance on a case-by-case basis which can lower treatment costs so that it can be afforded by that particular individual. How this typically works is 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 family and financial information admissions administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

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

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are offered, individuals may need to seek further assistance to pay this lesser amount. Intake administrators can help people or their loved ones 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 client finishes rehab.
