Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Mississippi State, MS.

A kind of payment help that some substance abuse rehabilitation centers may give to their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If a client can afford some degree of self-payment, these programs provide financial aid on an individual basis which can greatly reduce the cost of treatment so that it can be afforded by that particular client. How this typically works is the individual will have to satisfy certain 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 family and financial information intake administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

As an example, if an individual in Mississippi State makes $18K 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 a year with no overhead will pay much more.

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are available, people may need to seek further assistance to afford this lesser fee. Admissions staff can help individuals or their loved ones who are footing the bill for rehab apply for financing from a third party lender, and in mostcases this money doesn't need to be repaid until after the client finishes rehab.
