Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Cedar Crest, NM.

One form of payment assistance that some drug and alcohol treatment facilities may offer their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If a client can provide some degree of self-payment, these programs provide help on a case by case basis which can lower the cost of treatment so that it can be afforded by that particular person. How this typically works is the individual will have to meet certain criteria and 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 admissions administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

For example, if an individual in Cedar Crest earns $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 a person who is single and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead may need to pay $3000.

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are available, individuals may need to seek additional assistance to afford the lesser fee. Admissions staff can help people or their loved ones who are paying for treatment apply for financing from a third party lender, and in some cases this money doesn't need to be repaid until after the person completes rehabilitation.
