Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Tellico Plains, TN.

A type of payment help that some drug and alcohol treatment programs may give to their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If a client can afford some degree of self-payment, these centers provide help on an individual basis that can greatly reduce rehab costs so that it is affordable for that particular person. How this typically works is the person will need 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 admins can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

For example, if an individual in Tellico Plains only earns $18,000/year, has 3 dependents and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas a person who has no family and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead may need to pay $3000.

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are available, people may need to seek further assistance to pay this lesser fee. Admissions staff can help clients or family who are footing the bill for treatment apply for financing from a third party lender, and in mostcases this money doesn't need to be paid back until after the person finishes treatment.
