Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Elmer, NJ.

One form of payment help that some substance abuse treatment programs can give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can afford any deposit or payment by themselves, these facilities provide assistance on a case by case basis which can lower rehab costs so that it is affordable for that particular client. This typically works like this: the individual 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 intake administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

For example, if someone in Elmer earns $18,000 a year, has 3 dependents and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas an individual who has no dependents and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead may need to pay much more.

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are offered, individuals may need to seek additional financial help to afford the lesser fee. Intake staff can help clients or their loved ones who are paying 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 individual completes rehabilitation.
