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

One kind of payment assistance that some drug and alcohol treatment facilities may offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can provide any deposit or payment by themselves, these facilities provide help on a case by case basis which can lower treatment costs so that it is affordable for that particular client. This typically works like this: the client will need 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 intake administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

As an example, if someone in Funkstown makes $18K a year, has 3 children and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas an individual who has no dependents and makes $30,000/year with no overhead may need to pay $3000.

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are offered, people may need to seek additional assistance to pay the discounted amount. Intake staff can help individuals or family 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 finishes treatment.
