Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Ephrata, PA.

One kind of payment help that some substance abuse rehab centers can offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can provide some degree of self-payment, these facilities provide financial aid on an individual basis that can lower treatment costs so that it can be afforded by that particular individual. This typically works like this: the person will have 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 intake admins can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

As an example, if an individual in Ephrata only makes $18,000/year, has 3 children and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, 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 fee scales are available, people may need to seek additional assistance to pay the discounted amount. Intake staff can help clients or family who are paying for treatment apply for financing from a third party lender, and in mostcases this money doesn't need to be paid until after the person finishes rehab.
