Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Columbus, NM.

One form of payment assistance that some substance abuse treatment programs can give to their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If a client can afford any deposit or payment by themselves, these facilities provide help on a case by case basis that can greatly reduce treatment costs so that it is affordable for that particular person. This typically works like this: the client will have to meet certain criteria and requirements for payment assistance, 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 intake administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

As an example, if someone in Columbus 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 a person who is single and makes $30,000/year with no overhead may need to pay $3000.

Even when sliding payment scales are offered, clients may need to seek additional financial help to afford the discounted fee. Admissions staff 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 paid back until after the person completes rehab.
