Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - White Bluff, TN.

One kind of payment assistance that some alcohol and drug treatment facilities can give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can afford some degree of self-payment, these centers provide financial aid on an individual basis that can greatly reduce rehab costs so that it can be afforded by that particular person. This typically works like this: the client will need to satisfy certain requirements for payment assistance, 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 information intake administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

As an example, if an individual in White Bluff makes $18,000/year, has 3 dependent children they are supporting and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas a person who has no dependents and makes $30,000/year with no overhead must pay $3000.

Even when sliding payment scales are offered, clients may need to seek additional financial help to afford this lesser amount. Intake staff can help people or family who are paying 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 finishes treatment.
