Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Shavertown, PA.

One form of payment assistance that some substance abuse rehabilitation 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 that can lower the cost of treatment so that it can be afforded by that particular person. This typically works like this: the person will need to satisfy certain 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 admissions admins can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

For example, if a person in Shavertown makes $18,000/year, has 3 dependent children they are supporting and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas a person who has no family and makes $30 a year with no overhead must pay $3000.

Even when sliding fee scales are offered, people may need to seek additional assistance to pay the lesser fee. 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 client finishes rehabilitation.
