Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Elizabeth, MN.

A kind of payment assistance that some drug rehab centers may give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can afford some degree of self-payment, these programs provide financial aid on an individual basis which can greatly reduce treatment costs so that it can be afforded by that particular individual. This typically works like this: the client will have to meet certain criteria and requirements for payment assistance, and will have to provide proof of income, information about how many dependents they have, what their household overhead is, etc. Based off this information admissions administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

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

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