Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Northumberland, PA.

One kind of payment help that some alcohol and drug rehab programs may give to their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If an individual can provide some degree of self-payment, these centers provide help on an individual basis which can lower treatment costs so that it can be afforded by that particular client. This typically works like this: the person will have 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 family and financial information intake administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

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

Even when sliding fee scales are offered, people may need to seek further financial help to afford the lesser amount. Intake staff can help individuals 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 paid back until after the person completes rehab.
