Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Abingdon, MD.

One kind of payment help that some alcohol and drug treatment centers may offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can provide some degree of self-payment, these facilities provide assistance on a case by case basis which can lower treatment costs so that it is affordable for that particular client. This typically works like this: the person will have to satisfy certain 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 family and financial information admissions admins can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

As an example, if a person in Abingdon 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 an individual who is single and makes $30,000/year with no overhead must pay much more.

Even when sliding fee scales are available, people may need to seek additional financial help to afford the discounted fee. Admissions staff can help clients or family who are paying for rehab apply for financing from a third party lender, and in some cases this money doesn't need to be repaid until after the individual finishes rehab.
