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

A type of payment help that some substance abuse treatment centers may give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can afford some degree of self-payment, these centers provide assistance on a case by case basis that can lower treatment costs so that it can be afforded by that particular person. This typically works like this: the individual will have to meet certain criteria and requirements for payment assistance, 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 what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

As an example, if a person in Pooler only makes $18K a year, has 3 dependent children they are supporting and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas a person who is single and makes $30,000/year with no overhead may need to pay much more.

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are available, individuals may need to seek further assistance to afford this lesser amount. Intake staff can help clients or family who are paying for rehab apply for financing from a third party lender, and in some cases this money doesn't need to be paid back until after the individual completes treatment.
