Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Big Bend, WI.

One kind of payment assistance that some alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers can offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can afford some degree of self-payment, these facilities 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 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 admissions admins can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

For example, if an individual in Big Bend earns $18K a year, has 3 children and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas someone who is single and makes $30,000/year with no overhead will pay $3000.

Even when sliding fee scales are available, clients may need to seek additional financial help to pay the discounted fee. Intake admin can help people or their loved ones who are paying for treatment apply for financing from a third party lender, and in some cases this money doesn't need to be paid until after the person completes treatment.
