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

One form of payment assistance that some alcohol and drug treatment centers may offer their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If a client can provide any deposit or payment by themselves, these programs provide assistance on a case by case basis which can greatly reduce the cost of treatment so that it can be afforded by that particular individual. How this typically works is 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 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 Cedar Lake makes $18K a year, has 3 dependents and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas someone who is single and makes $30 a year with no overhead must pay much more.

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are available, individuals may need to seek further 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 some cases this money doesn't need to be paid back until after the individual finishes rehab.
