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

A type of payment assistance that some alcohol and drug treatment facilities can offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can afford some degree of self-payment, these programs provide financial aid on an individual basis which can lower the cost of treatment so that it can be afforded by that particular person. This typically works like this: the individual will have 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 admissions administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

For example, if a person in Point Marion makes $18,000/year, has 3 dependents and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas a person who is single and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead may need to pay much more.

Even when sliding payment scales are offered, clients may need to seek additional financial help to afford this discounted fee. Intake staff can help people 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 repaid until after the individual completes rehab.
