Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Mercer, MO.

A kind of payment assistance that some drug treatment programs can give to their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If a client can provide some degree of self-payment, these facilities provide help on an individual basis that can greatly reduce treatment costs so that it is affordable for that particular individual. This typically works like this: the individual will have to satisfy certain requirements for payment help 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.

As an example, if a person in Mercer only makes $18,000 a year, has 3 dependent children they are supporting and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas someone who is single and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead will pay much more.

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are available, clients may need to seek additional financial help to afford this discounted fee. Intake staff 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 paid back until after the person completes rehabilitation.
