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

One form of payment help that some substance abuse rehabilitation programs can give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can afford any deposit or payment by themselves, these centers provide financial aid on an individual basis that can lower rehab costs so that it is affordable for that particular client. How this typically works is the person will need to satisfy certain requirements for payment help 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.

For example, if an individual in Gunpowder only makes $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 a person who has no family and makes $30 a year with no overhead must pay much more.

Even when sliding payment scales are available, people may need to seek additional assistance to pay this lesser fee. Admissions staff can help people or family who are footing the bill 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 rehab.
