Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Buckhead, GA.

One kind of payment assistance that some substance abuse treatment programs can offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can provide some degree of self-payment, these programs provide financial aid on an individual basis which can lower rehab costs so that it can be afforded by that particular client. This typically works like this: the client will need to meet certain criteria and 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 administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

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

Even when sliding payment scales are available, individuals may need to seek additional assistance to pay the lesser fee. Intake staff 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.
