Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - St. Elmo, AL.

One form of payment assistance that some alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities may offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can provide some degree of self-payment, these centers provide help on a case-by-case basis that can greatly reduce treatment costs so that it can be afforded by that particular individual. How this typically works is the individual will have to satisfy certain 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 intake administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

As an example, if an individual in St. Elmo only 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 rehab, whereas someone who has no dependents and makes $30,000/year with no overhead will pay $3000.

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are offered, people may need to seek additional assistance to pay this discounted amount. Intake staff can help people or family who are footing the bill for rehab apply for financing from a third party lender, and in mostcases this money doesn't need to be paid back until after the client finishes rehabilitation.
