Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Burlington, IN.

A type of payment assistance that some alcohol and drug treatment facilities may offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can provide any deposit or payment by themselves, these programs provide financial aid on an individual basis which can greatly reduce the cost of treatment so that it can be afforded by that particular individual. This typically works like this: the individual 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 family and financial information admissions administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

For example, if a person in Burlington makes $18,000 a year, has 3 dependent children they are supporting and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas a person who has no dependents 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 afford this discounted amount. Intake staff can help individuals or family who are paying for treatment apply for financing from a third party lender, and in mostcases this money doesn't need to be paid until after the individual finishes rehabilitation.
