Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Merit, TX.

One form of payment assistance that some drug rehabilitation programs can offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can provide some degree of self-payment, these centers provide financial aid on a case-by-case basis that can greatly reduce treatment costs so that it is affordable for that particular client. This typically works like this: 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 the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

For example, if someone in Merit only makes $18,000/year, has 3 children and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas a person who has no family and makes $30 a year with no overhead may need to pay much more.

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are offered, individuals may need to seek additional financial help to afford this discounted fee. Intake administrators can help individuals 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 person completes rehab.
