Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Watauga, TN.

A type of payment help that some substance abuse rehabilitation centers may offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can afford some degree of self-payment, these facilities provide financial aid on an individual basis which can greatly reduce rehab costs so that it can be afforded by that particular person. How this typically works is the client will have 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 information admissions admins can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

For example, if someone in Watauga only makes $18,000/year, has 3 dependent children they are supporting and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas an individual who has no dependents and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead may need to pay $3000.

Even when sliding fee scales are offered, people may need to seek further assistance to afford this discounted amount. Intake staff can help clients or family who are footing the bill for rehab apply for financing from a third party lender, and in mostcases this money doesn't need to be repaid until after the client finishes treatment.
