Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Forest Park, GA.

One form of payment assistance that some substance abuse treatment facilities can give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can provide some degree of self-payment, these facilities provide help on a case-by-case basis which can lower treatment costs so that it can be afforded by that particular person. How this typically works is the client 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 family and financial information intake admins can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

As an example, if someone in Forest Park makes $18,000/year, has 3 dependent children they are supporting and $800 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 much more.

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are offered, individuals may need to seek additional assistance to afford the lesser amount. Intake staff can help people or family who are paying for treatment apply for financing from a third party lender, and in mostcases this money doesn't need to be paid until after the client finishes treatment.
