Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Ouray, CO.

One form of payment assistance that some alcohol and drug treatment centers may offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can afford any deposit or payment by themselves, these facilities provide assistance on an individual basis which can lower treatment costs so that it is affordable for that particular individual. This typically works like this: the client will have to satisfy certain 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 administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

As an example, if an individual in Ouray makes $18K a 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 available, clients may need to seek additional assistance to afford the lesser fee. Admissions staff can help individuals or family who are footing the bill for rehab apply for financing from a third party lender, and in some cases this money doesn't need to be paid back until after the client finishes rehab.
