Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Brownfield, ME.

A type of payment assistance that some substance abuse rehabilitation facilities may give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can afford some degree of self-payment, these facilities provide financial aid on an individual basis that can greatly reduce the cost of treatment so that it can be afforded by that particular individual. How this typically works is the person will need 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 intake administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

As an example, if someone in Brownfield only earns $18K 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 a year with no overhead may need to pay much more.

Even when sliding payment scales are available, people may need to seek further assistance to pay 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 mostcases this money doesn't need to be paid back until after the client finishes treatment.
