Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - St. Joseph, MN.

One form of payment assistance that some drug and alcohol rehab programs may offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can provide some degree of self-payment, these centers provide financial aid on an individual basis which can lower the cost of treatment so that it can be afforded by that particular client. How this typically works is the client will need 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 admins can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

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

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are available, clients may need to seek further financial help to pay this discounted amount. Intake administrators can help clients or family who are footing the bill for rehab apply for financing from a third party lender, and in some cases this money doesn't need to be repaid until after the individual finishes rehabilitation.
