Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Lookout Mountain, TN.

One kind of payment assistance that some drug and alcohol rehab facilities can offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can provide some degree of self-payment, these programs provide help 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 person will need to meet certain criteria and requirements for payment assistance, 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 intake admins can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

As an example, if a person in Lookout Mountain only makes $18K a year, has 3 children and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas someone who has no family and makes $30,000/year with no overhead must pay $3000.

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are offered, individuals may need to seek additional assistance to pay the discounted fee. Admissions admin 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 back until after the client finishes rehab.
