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

A type of payment assistance that some alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities may give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can afford some degree of self-payment, these programs provide help on an individual basis that can lower treatment costs so that it is affordable for that particular client. How this typically works is the individual will need 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 admissions administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

As an example, if a person in Sycamore only makes $18,000 a year, has 3 children and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas a person who has no dependents and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead will pay $3000.

Even when sliding payment scales are available, clients may need to seek further financial help to afford the lesser fee. Admissions staff 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 repaid until after the client finishes rehab.
