Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Hampstead, MD.

A kind of payment assistance that some substance abuse rehab 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 is affordable for that particular individual. 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.

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

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are available, clients may need to seek further assistance to afford this discounted amount. Intake staff can help individuals 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 repaid until after the client completes rehab.
