Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Georgetown, SC.

One form of payment assistance that some alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers may give to their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If a client can provide some degree of self-payment, these centers provide financial aid on a case by case basis that can lower the cost of treatment so that it is affordable for that particular person. This typically works like this: the individual will have to meet certain criteria and requirements for payment help 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 administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

For example, if someone in Georgetown only earns $18,000/year, has 3 dependent children they are supporting and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas someone who has no family and makes $30 a year with no overhead will pay $3000.

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are offered, clients may need to seek further assistance to afford the discounted fee. Intake administrators can help clients or family 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 repaid until after the individual finishes treatment.
