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

One form of payment help that some substance abuse treatment programs can offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can afford some degree of self-payment, these centers provide financial aid 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 client will have to meet certain criteria and 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 information admissions administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

For example, if someone in Semmes only makes $18,000 a year, has 3 dependents and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas someone who has no dependents and makes $30,000/year with no overhead must pay $3000.

Even when sliding payment scales are offered, people may need to seek further financial help to pay the discounted amount. Intake staff can help individuals 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 repaid until after the client finishes rehabilitation.
