Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Augusta, MO.

One form of payment assistance that some drug treatment programs may offer their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If a client can afford any deposit or payment by themselves, these programs provide help on an individual basis that can greatly reduce the cost of treatment so that it is affordable for that particular person. How this typically works is 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 family and financial information admissions admins can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

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

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are available, individuals may need to seek additional financial help to afford the lesser amount. Intake staff can help clients 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 repaid until after the person finishes rehabilitation.
