Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Oakdale, TN.

A type of payment help that some alcohol and drug rehab programs may give to their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If a client can afford 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 person will have to satisfy certain 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 administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

As an example, if a person in Oakdale earns $18,000 a year, has 3 dependent children they are supporting and 800 dollars 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 will pay $3000.

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are offered, people may need to seek further financial help to pay the discounted amount. Intake staff can help clients or their loved ones who are footing the bill for rehab apply for financing from a third party lender, and in some cases this money doesn't need to be paid until after the individual completes rehab.
