Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Friedheim, MO.

A type of payment help that some substance abuse rehab programs may offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can provide some degree of self-payment, these facilities provide help on a case by case basis which can greatly reduce the cost of treatment so that it can be afforded by that particular client. This typically works like this: 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 family and financial information intake administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

For example, if an individual in Friedheim only makes $18K a year, has 3 children and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas a person who has no family and makes $30,000/year with no overhead may need to pay $3000.

Even when sliding payment scales are offered, people may need to seek additional assistance to pay the lesser amount. Admissions staff can help people or family 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.
