Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Delaware, OK.

A type of payment assistance that some drug treatment facilities may offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can afford some degree of self-payment, these facilities provide financial aid on an individual basis which can lower rehab costs so that it is affordable for that particular client. This typically works like this: the person will have to satisfy certain 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 intake admins can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

As an example, if an individual in Delaware only makes $18,000/year, has 3 dependent children they are supporting and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas someone who has no dependents and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead may need to pay much more.

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are offered, individuals may need to seek further assistance to pay the lesser amount. Intake administrators can help clients or family who are paying for rehab apply for financing from a third party lender, and in some cases this money doesn't need to be repaid until after the person finishes rehabilitation.
