Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Malden, WA.

One form of payment assistance that some drug and alcohol treatment programs can offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can afford any deposit or payment by themselves, these facilities provide assistance on a case by case basis that can lower the cost of treatment so that it can be afforded by that particular person. This typically works like this: the client will need 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 administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

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

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are offered, individuals may need to seek additional financial help to afford this lesser amount. Intake 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 until after the client finishes rehab.
