Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Whatley, AL.

A type of payment assistance that some substance abuse treatment programs may give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can afford any deposit or payment by themselves, these programs provide assistance on a case by case basis that can lower the cost of treatment so that it can be afforded by that particular individual. This typically works like this: the person will have to satisfy certain requirements for payment help and will have to provide proof of income, information about how many dependents they have, what their household overhead is, etc. Based off this information intake admins can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

As an example, if someone in Whatley makes $18,000 a year, has 3 children and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas a person who is single and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead may need to pay $3000.

Even when sliding payment scales are available, people may need to seek additional financial help to afford this discounted fee. Admissions staff can help individuals 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 paid back until after the person finishes rehab.
