Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Cottontown, TN.

A type of payment assistance that some alcohol and drug treatment facilities can give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can afford some degree of self-payment, these facilities provide help on an individual basis that can lower treatment costs so that it is affordable for that particular client. How this typically works is the client 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 information admissions administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

For example, if a person in Cottontown only 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 an individual who has no family and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead will pay $3000.

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are offered, clients may need to seek further financial help to afford this lesser amount. Admissions staff can help individuals or family who are footing the bill for treatment apply for financing from a third party lender, and in some cases this money doesn't need to be paid until after the individual finishes rehabilitation.
