Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Royalston, MA.

One form of payment assistance that some substance abuse treatment facilities may offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can provide any deposit or payment by themselves, these centers provide financial aid on an individual basis that can greatly reduce the cost of treatment so that it can be afforded by that particular person. This typically works like this: the client will have to meet certain criteria and requirements for payment help 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 intake admins can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

For example, if an individual in Royalston only 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 a person who has no dependents and makes $30,000/year with no overhead will pay $3000.

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are offered, people may need to seek further financial help to afford the lesser amount. Intake staff can help individuals 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 paid back until after the person finishes rehab.
