Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Baldwin, MD.

A kind of payment help that some drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs can give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can provide some degree of self-payment, these centers provide financial aid on an individual basis which can lower treatment costs so that it is affordable for that particular person. This typically works like this: the individual 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 information intake admins can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

As an example, if an individual in Baldwin only earns $18K a year, has 3 dependents and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas someone who is single and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead must pay $3000.

Even when sliding payment scales are offered, individuals may need to seek further financial help to afford the discounted fee. Intake staff can help individuals or family who are footing the bill for treatment apply for financing from a third party lender, and in some cases this money doesn't need to be paid back until after the client finishes rehabilitation.
