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

One kind of payment help that some alcohol and drug treatment programs may give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can provide some degree of self-payment, these facilities provide financial aid on a case by case basis that can greatly reduce treatment costs so that it is affordable for that particular person. How this typically works is the individual will have 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 the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

For example, if someone in Mount Vernon only earns $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/year with no overhead may need to pay $3000.

Even when sliding payment scales are offered, people may need to seek additional assistance to pay the discounted fee. Intake staff can help individuals or their loved ones who are footing the bill for rehab apply for financing from a third party lender, and in some cases this money doesn't need to be paid back until after the person completes rehab.
