Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Starlight, PA.

A kind of payment help that some drug treatment centers can give to 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 that can lower treatment costs so that it can be afforded by that particular client. This typically works like this: the individual will have to satisfy certain 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 what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

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

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are offered, clients may need to seek additional assistance to pay the discounted amount. Intake staff 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.
