Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Elgin, SC.

A type of payment assistance that some drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers can give to their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If an individual can afford some degree of self-payment, these centers provide help on an individual basis that can lower treatment costs so that it is affordable for that particular individual. How this typically works is the client will need 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 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 Elgin only earns $18,000 a year, has 3 dependents and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas someone who has no dependents and makes $30,000/year with no overhead will pay much more.

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are offered, clients may need to seek additional assistance to pay this lesser fee. Intake administrators can help people or family who are paying for rehab apply for financing from a third party lender, and in mostcases this money doesn't need to be repaid until after the person finishes treatment.
