Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Betterton, MD.

One form of payment help that some alcohol and drug treatment facilities can offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can provide some degree of self-payment, these centers provide financial aid on a case by case basis which can greatly reduce treatment costs so that it can be afforded by that particular individual. This typically works like this: the individual will have to satisfy certain requirements for payment assistance, 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 information admissions administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

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

Even when sliding payment scales are offered, people may need to seek further assistance to pay the discounted fee. Intake staff can help clients or their loved ones who are paying 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 client finishes rehab.
