Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Bedford, IN.

One kind of payment help that some substance abuse treatment programs may offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can afford some degree of self-payment, these facilities provide financial aid on an individual basis which can lower treatment costs so that it can be afforded by that particular person. How this typically works is the person will need 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 administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

As an example, if an individual in Bedford 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 a person who has no dependents and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead must pay $3000.

Even when sliding payment scales are available, individuals may need to seek further financial help to pay this discounted amount. Intake admin can help clients or their loved ones who are footing the bill 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 client finishes rehab.
