Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Cerro, NM.

A kind of payment assistance that some alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs can give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can afford some degree of self-payment, these programs provide help on a case by case basis which can greatly reduce treatment costs so that it is affordable for that particular individual. This typically works like this: the individual will need to meet certain criteria and requirements for payment help 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 Cerro only earns $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 a year with no overhead may need to pay $3000.

Even when sliding payment scales are available, individuals may need to seek further assistance to afford the discounted fee. Intake staff can help clients 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 paid back until after the person finishes rehabilitation.
