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

A kind of payment assistance that some alcohol and drug rehab facilities may give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can afford any deposit or payment by themselves, these programs provide financial aid on a case-by-case basis that can lower rehab costs so that it is affordable for 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 information about how many dependents they have, proof of income, what their household overhead is, and the like. Based off this family and financial information intake admins can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

As an example, if an individual in Dunkirk earns $18K a year, has 3 children and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas someone who has no family and makes $30,000/year with no overhead will pay much more.

Even when sliding fee scales are available, people may need to seek additional financial help to afford the discounted fee. Intake admin can help people or their loved ones who are paying for rehab apply for financing from a third party lender, and in mostcases this money doesn't need to be paid back until after the individual finishes rehabilitation.
