Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Lockport, LA.

A kind of payment assistance that some substance abuse rehab centers may give to their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If a client can afford some degree of self-payment, these programs provide financial aid on a case by case basis that can lower rehab costs so that it can be afforded by that particular person. This typically works like this: the individual 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.

For example, if an individual in Lockport makes $18,000/year, has 3 dependents and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas an individual who is single and makes $30,000/year with no overhead may need to pay $3000.

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are available, individuals may need to seek additional financial help to pay the lesser amount. Intake administrators can help individuals 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 until after the client completes treatment.
