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

A kind of payment assistance that some drug treatment programs can give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can afford some degree of self-payment, these programs provide assistance on a case-by-case basis that can lower treatment costs so that it is affordable for that particular individual. This typically works like this: the individual will have 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 family and financial information admissions admins can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

For example, if a person in Smithville only makes $18,000/year, has 3 dependent children they are supporting and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas an individual who has no dependents and makes $30 a year with no overhead may need to pay $3000.

Even when sliding fee scales are offered, individuals may need to seek further assistance to afford this lesser amount. Intake staff can help individuals or family who are footing the bill for treatment apply for financing from a third party lender, and in mostcases this money doesn't need to be paid back until after the individual finishes treatment.
