Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Washington, IL.

A type of payment assistance that some substance abuse rehabilitation facilities can offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can afford some degree of self-payment, these centers provide help on an individual basis which can lower treatment costs so that it is affordable for that particular person. This typically works like this: the client will need 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 administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

For example, if someone in Washington makes $18K a year, has 3 children and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas an individual who has no dependents and makes $30 a year with no overhead may need to pay $3000.

Even when sliding payment scales are offered, clients may need to seek further financial help to pay this lesser fee. Admissions administrators can help people or their loved ones 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 repaid until after the client completes treatment.
