Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Athens, LA.

One kind of payment help that some drug and alcohol rehab facilities can offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can provide some degree of self-payment, these facilities provide financial aid on an individual basis which can lower rehab costs so that it is affordable for that particular client. How this typically works is the client will have to meet certain criteria and requirements for payment assistance, 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 information intake administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

As an example, if a person in Athens only earns $18K a year, has 3 dependents and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas a person who is single and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead may need to pay $3000.

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are offered, clients may need to seek further assistance to pay this lesser amount. Admissions administrators can help people or their loved ones who are footing the bill for treatment apply for financing from a third party lender, and in mostcases this money doesn't need to be paid back until after the client completes rehab.
