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

A kind of payment help that some alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities can give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can provide some degree of self-payment, these facilities provide financial aid on a case by case basis which can greatly reduce treatment costs 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 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 intake admins can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

As an example, if a person in Winnebago only earns $18K a year, has 3 dependents and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas a person who is single and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead may need to pay $3000.

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are offered, clients may need to seek additional financial help to afford the discounted fee. Intake administrators can help people 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 until after the client finishes rehab.
