Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Eldersburg, MD.

One kind of payment help that some substance abuse treatment programs may give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can provide some degree of self-payment, these facilities provide assistance on an individual basis that can lower rehab costs so that it can be afforded by that particular person. How this typically works is the client 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 what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

As an example, if someone in Eldersburg earns $18K a year, has 3 children and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas a person who has no dependents and makes $30 a year with no overhead will pay $3000.

Even when sliding fee scales are available, clients may need to seek additional financial help to afford this lesser fee. Admissions staff can help clients or their loved ones who are paying for treatment 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 completes rehabilitation.
