Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Big Lake, MN.

A type of payment assistance that some alcohol and drug treatment centers may give to 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 lower the cost of treatment so that it is affordable for that particular individual. How this typically works is the individual will need to meet certain criteria and requirements for payment help 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 intake admins can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

For example, if an individual in Big Lake earns $18,000 a year, has 3 children and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas someone who has no dependents and makes $30,000/year with no overhead must pay much more.

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are available, individuals may need to seek further assistance to afford this lesser amount. Intake staff can help clients or family who are paying for treatment apply for financing from a third party lender, and in mostcases this money doesn't need to be paid until after the individual finishes rehab.
