Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Vancleave, MS.

A type of payment assistance that some substance abuse rehab programs can give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can afford some degree of self-payment, these programs provide financial aid on a case by case basis which can greatly reduce rehab costs so that it is affordable for that particular individual. This typically works like this: the person 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 admissions administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

For example, if someone in Vancleave makes $18K a year, has 3 dependent children they are supporting and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas someone who is single and makes $30 a year with no overhead must pay $3000.

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are offered, individuals may need to seek additional financial help to afford this lesser fee. Admissions staff can help individuals 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 until after the person completes rehabilitation.
