Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - DHS, MD.

One form of payment help that some drug rehabilitation programs can give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can afford some degree of self-payment, these facilities provide assistance on a case by case basis that can lower the cost of treatment so that it can be afforded by that particular person. How this typically works is the client 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 admins can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

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

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are offered, clients may need to seek additional assistance to afford this discounted amount. Intake admin 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 repaid until after the individual completes rehab.
