Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Burns, CO.

One form of payment assistance that some drug treatment facilities may offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can provide some degree of self-payment, these programs provide financial aid on an individual basis that can lower the cost of treatment so that it can be afforded by that particular client. This typically works like this: the person will need 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 what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

As an example, if someone in Burns only earns $18,000 a year, has 3 children and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas an individual who has no dependents and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead must pay $3000.

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are offered, people may need to seek additional assistance 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 mostcases this money doesn't need to be paid until after the client finishes rehabilitation.
