Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Jefferson, AL.

A kind of payment assistance that some alcohol and drug treatment programs can offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can afford any deposit or payment by themselves, these programs provide assistance on an individual basis that can lower the cost of treatment so that it is affordable for that particular client. This typically works like this: the client will need to meet certain criteria and 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 admissions administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

As an example, if a person in Jefferson makes $18,000/year, has 3 dependents and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas an individual who has no dependents and makes $30 a year with no overhead must pay much more.

Even when sliding fee scales are available, clients may need to seek further financial help to pay this discounted amount. Intake staff can help individuals or family who are footing the bill for treatment apply for financing from a third party lender, and in some cases this money doesn't need to be paid until after the person completes rehabilitation.
