Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Forest Hill, MD.

One kind of payment assistance that some alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers can offer their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If a client can afford some degree of self-payment, these programs provide help on an individual 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 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 intake administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

As an example, if a person in Forest Hill makes $18K a year, has 3 dependent children they are supporting and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas an individual who has no dependents and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead may need to pay much more.

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are offered, individuals may need to seek additional financial help to pay the lesser amount. Intake administrators 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 paid back until after the individual finishes rehabilitation.
