Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Elgin, OH.

A type of payment assistance that some alcohol and drug treatment programs can offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can provide some degree of self-payment, these facilities provide assistance on an individual basis that can lower the cost of treatment so that it is affordable for that particular person. This typically works like this: the individual will need to meet certain criteria and 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 information admissions admins can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

As an example, if a person in Elgin makes $18,000 a year, has 3 children and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas an individual who has no family and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead may need to pay $3000.

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are available, clients may need to seek additional assistance to afford the lesser amount. Admissions administrators can help individuals or their loved ones who are paying for rehab apply for financing from a third party lender, and in some cases this money doesn't need to be paid until after the individual finishes rehab.
