Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Hazelwood, MO.

A type of payment help that some substance abuse treatment programs can offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can afford some degree of self-payment, these facilities provide help on a case by case basis which can lower the cost of treatment so that it can be afforded by that particular client. How this typically works is the individual 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 family and financial information intake administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

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

Even when sliding payment scales are offered, clients may need to seek further financial help to afford the lesser fee. Intake admin can help individuals or their loved ones 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 until after the individual completes rehab.
