Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - California, MD.

A kind of payment assistance that some drug and alcohol rehab programs can offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can afford any deposit or payment by themselves, these facilities provide financial aid on an individual basis that can greatly reduce treatment costs so that it is affordable for that particular individual. This typically works like this: 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 administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

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

Even when sliding fee scales are offered, individuals may need to seek additional assistance to pay the lesser amount. Admissions administrators can help individuals or their loved ones who are paying for rehab 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 rehabilitation.
