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

One kind of payment assistance that some substance abuse rehab facilities can give to their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If an individual can afford some degree of self-payment, these programs provide help on a case-by-case basis which can greatly reduce the cost of treatment so that it can be afforded by that particular individual. This typically works like this: the person 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 administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

For example, if an individual in Brinklow makes $18K a year, has 3 children and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas an individual who is single and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead must pay much more.

Even when sliding payment scales are available, people may need to seek further financial help to pay the discounted amount. Intake staff can help individuals or family who are paying for treatment 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 rehabilitation.
