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

A type of payment assistance that some alcohol and drug treatment centers 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 a case by case basis that can lower the cost of treatment so that it is affordable for that particular individual. How this typically works is the individual will have to meet certain criteria and requirements for payment assistance, 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 admins can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

For example, if a person in Glyndon only earns $18,000/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 family and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead may need to pay much more.

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are available, people may need to seek further assistance to afford the lesser 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 paid back until after the client completes rehabilitation.
