Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Wellington, AL.

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

For example, if someone in Wellington only earns $18,000/year, has 3 children 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 a year with no overhead may need to pay $3000.

Even when sliding fee scales are offered, individuals may need to seek additional assistance to pay the lesser fee. Intake administrators can help people or their loved ones 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 repaid until after the individual finishes treatment.
