Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - St. James, LA.

One form of payment help that some drug treatment programs can offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can provide some degree of self-payment, these centers provide financial aid on a case by case basis that can greatly reduce the cost of treatment so that it can be afforded by that particular individual. This typically works like this: the person will have 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 admissions admins can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

For example, if a person in St. James only earns $18,000 a year, has 3 dependents and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas someone who has no family and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead will pay $3000.

Even when sliding fee scales are available, individuals may need to seek further assistance to pay this discounted fee. Admissions staff can help individuals or their loved ones who are paying for rehab apply for financing from a third party lender, and in some cases this money doesn't need to be paid back until after the person finishes treatment.
