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

One kind of payment help that some drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities can offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can provide any deposit or payment by themselves, these programs provide assistance on a case-by-case basis which can greatly reduce treatment costs so that it can be afforded by that particular client. This typically works like this: the individual will have to meet certain criteria and 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 family and financial information intake admins can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

For example, if someone in Big Pool only earns $18,000/year, has 3 dependents and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas an individual who has no family and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead may need to pay much more.

Even when sliding fee scales are offered, people may need to seek additional assistance to afford the discounted fee. Intake staff can help individuals 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 client finishes treatment.
