Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - East Olympia, WA.

A kind of payment assistance that some alcohol and drug treatment programs may offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can afford some degree of self-payment, these programs provide assistance on an individual basis that can greatly reduce treatment costs so that it can be afforded by that particular person. How this typically works is the client will have 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 admissions admins can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

As an example, if someone in East Olympia only 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 treatment, whereas a person who is single and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead must pay much more.

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are available, individuals may need to seek further assistance to afford this lesser amount. Admissions staff can help clients or family 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 repaid until after the client completes rehab.
