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

One kind of payment help that some drug and alcohol treatment programs may give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can provide some degree of self-payment, these facilities provide assistance on an individual basis that can lower the cost of treatment so that it can be afforded by that particular individual. How this typically works is the individual will have to meet certain criteria and requirements for payment help 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.

For example, if an individual in Smithville only earns $18K a year, has 3 dependents and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas an individual who has no family and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead will pay much more.

Even when sliding fee scales are available, individuals may need to seek further assistance to afford this lesser amount. Intake staff can help clients 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 repaid until after the person completes rehab.
