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

A type of payment help that some substance abuse rehab programs may offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can provide some degree of self-payment, these facilities provide financial aid on a case-by-case basis that can lower treatment costs so that it is affordable for that particular client. 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 admissions admins can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

For example, if a person in Livingston only earns $18,000 a year, has 3 children and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas someone who has no dependents and makes $30,000/year with no overhead will pay $3000.

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are available, people may need to seek additional assistance to pay the lesser amount. Admissions staff can help people or their loved ones 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 person finishes treatment.
