Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Cummington, MA.

One form of payment assistance that some drug and alcohol treatment programs can give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can afford any deposit or payment by themselves, these centers provide financial aid on a case by case basis which can greatly reduce the cost of treatment so that it is affordable for that particular client. This typically works like this: the individual 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 intake administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

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

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are offered, clients may need to seek additional assistance to pay this lesser fee. Admissions administrators can help clients or their loved ones who are paying 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 individual finishes rehabilitation.
