Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Richmond Heights, MO.

A type of payment help that some substance abuse rehabilitation facilities may give to their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If a client can provide any deposit or payment by themselves, these centers provide assistance on a case by case basis that can lower treatment costs so that it is affordable for 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 information about how many dependents they have, proof of income, what their household overhead is, and the like. Based off this information admissions admins can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

For example, if an individual in Richmond Heights makes $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 an individual who has no family and makes $30,000/year with no overhead must pay much more.

Even when sliding fee scales are available, people may need to seek additional financial help to pay the lesser amount. Intake administrators can help clients 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 repaid until after the person completes rehab.
