Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Glen Echo, MD.

A kind of payment assistance that some substance abuse treatment centers may offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can afford some degree of self-payment, these centers provide financial aid on a case by case basis that can lower treatment costs so that it can be afforded by that particular individual. How this typically works is the individual will have to satisfy certain requirements for payment help and will have to provide proof of income, information about how many dependents they have, what their household overhead is, etc. Based off this family and financial information intake administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

For example, if an individual in Glen Echo makes $18K a year, has 3 children and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas someone who is single and makes $30,000/year with no overhead will pay much more.

Even when sliding fee scales are offered, clients may need to seek additional assistance to pay the lesser amount. Intake administrators can help people 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 paid until after the person completes rehabilitation.
