Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Grant, AL.

A kind of payment assistance that some substance abuse treatment facilities may give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can provide some degree of self-payment, these facilities provide help on an individual basis which can greatly reduce treatment costs so that it is affordable for that particular client. This typically works like this: the client will need to satisfy certain requirements for payment assistance, and will have to provide proof of income, information about how many dependents they have, what their household overhead is, etc. Based off this information intake administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

As an example, if someone in Grant only makes $18,000 a year, has 3 children and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas a person who is single and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead must pay $3000.

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are available, people may need to seek further assistance to afford this lesser amount. Intake staff can help people 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 person finishes rehabilitation.
