Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Ranchos De Taos, NM.

One kind of payment assistance that some substance abuse treatment programs can offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can provide any deposit or payment by themselves, these centers provide help on an individual basis which can lower treatment costs so that it can be afforded by that particular client. This typically works like this: the individual 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 admins can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

For example, if an individual in Ranchos De Taos only makes $18,000/year, has 3 dependents and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas a person who is single and makes $30,000/year with no overhead will pay $3000.

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are offered, people may need to seek additional financial help to afford the discounted fee. Intake 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 until after the client finishes rehabilitation.
