Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Windsor, MA.

A type of payment assistance that some drug and alcohol treatment facilities can offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can provide some degree of self-payment, these programs provide assistance on a case-by-case basis that can lower the cost of treatment so that it is affordable for that particular individual. How this typically works is the individual will have 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 admins can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

For example, if someone in Windsor only earns $18,000/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 family and makes $30 a year with no overhead may need to pay $3000.

Even when sliding fee scales are offered, clients may need to seek additional financial help to pay this discounted fee. Intake staff can help individuals 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 individual finishes rehabilitation.
