Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Fort Towson, OK.

A kind of payment assistance that some drug and alcohol treatment programs may offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can afford some degree of self-payment, these programs provide financial aid on a case-by-case basis which can lower treatment costs so that it can be afforded by that particular individual. This typically works like this: the client will have to meet certain criteria and requirements for payment assistance, and will have to provide proof of income, information about how many dependents they have, what their household overhead is, etc. Based off this information intake admins can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

As an example, if a person in Fort Towson makes $18,000/year, has 3 children and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas a person who is single and makes $30 a year with no overhead may need to pay $3000.

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are offered, clients may need to seek further financial help to afford this discounted amount. 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 some cases this money doesn't need to be repaid until after the person completes rehab.
