Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Washington, VA.

A kind of payment assistance that some alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers may offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can afford some degree of self-payment, these programs provide financial aid on an individual basis which can greatly reduce the cost of treatment so that it can be afforded by that particular client. This typically works like this: the person 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 admissions administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

As an example, if an individual in Washington only makes $18,000 a year, has 3 dependents and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas someone who has no family and makes $30,000/year with no overhead will pay much more.

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are available, individuals may need to seek further assistance to pay this discounted amount. Admissions staff can help people or their loved ones who are paying for treatment apply for financing from a third party lender, and in some cases this money doesn't need to be paid back until after the individual completes rehabilitation.
