Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Ohatchee, AL.

A kind of payment assistance that some substance abuse rehab programs may offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can provide some degree of self-payment, these facilities provide financial aid on an individual basis that can greatly reduce treatment costs so that it can be afforded by that particular person. 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 admins can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

For example, if an individual in Ohatchee makes $18,000 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 may need to pay much more.

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are available, clients may need to seek additional assistance to afford this discounted amount. Intake staff can help people 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 back until after the client completes rehab.
