Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Shelby, AL.

One kind of payment help that some drug and alcohol rehab programs may give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can afford any deposit or payment by themselves, these facilities provide help on a case by case basis that can lower treatment costs so that it is affordable for that particular client. This typically works like this: the client will have to meet certain criteria and requirements for payment help 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 what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

As an example, if a person in Shelby only makes $18K a year, has 3 dependent children they are supporting and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas a person who has no family and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead may need to pay $3000.

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are offered, clients may need to seek additional assistance to afford the lesser fee. Admissions admin can help people or family who are paying 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 finishes rehabilitation.
