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

A kind of payment help that some substance abuse rehabilitation programs may give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can afford some degree of self-payment, these facilities provide help on a case-by-case basis that can greatly reduce the cost of treatment so that it can be afforded by that particular person. This typically works like this: the client will need 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 information admissions administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

For example, if a person in Dickerson only makes $18K 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 has no dependents and makes $30,000/year with no overhead may need to pay $3000.

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