Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Greenbelt, MD.

One form of payment help that some substance abuse rehab centers may offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can provide some degree of self-payment, these centers provide help on a case-by-case basis which can greatly reduce treatment costs so that it can be afforded by that particular person. This typically works like this: the individual will have to satisfy certain 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 admissions admins can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

For example, if a person in Greenbelt only earns $18,000 a year, has 3 dependents and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas someone who has no dependents and makes $30,000/year with no overhead may need to pay much more.

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are offered, people may need to seek further assistance to afford the lesser amount. Admissions staff can help clients or family who are paying for rehab apply for financing from a third party lender, and in mostcases this money doesn't need to be paid until after the person completes rehab.
